Our Philosophy
When meaningful work deserves to be seen, design becomes a catalyst for change. We craft visual experiences that turn purpose into influence, expertise into action, and missions into momentum.
At Acton Circle, we amplify the work of nonprofits building stronger communities, tech innovators solving global challenges, schools equipping future leaders, and purpose-led firms creating lasting impact. Through intentional design, we help transform organizations from being heard to being remembered.
Our philosophy is simple: premium design paired with clear purpose has the power to transform how change-makers show up in the world. Every pixel, every word, every experience is crafted to honor the impact behind the work.

Meet our Founder and Chief Design Lead
Olivia has always been the go-to for all things graphic, web, and UI/UX design. After more than a decade of freelancing, leading design teams, and shaping brands across the Bay Area, she founded Acton Circle to amplify social good through the power of design.
From one experience to the next, she’s carried an undeniable truth: visual storytelling has the power to move hearts and spark action.
Her expertise in branding and design fuels Acton Circle’s mission, helping purpose-driven brands craft visuals that don’t just look good but truly resonate with their audiences.
When she’s not helping organizations level up their visual game, you’ll find her chasing after her boys, people-watching with her husband, or breaking a sweat in her home gym (because sitting at a computer all day means these design muscles aren’t the only ones that need work 💪).
“I have always known that I was put on this earth to use my gifts to help others. The namesake of my studio, Acton Circle, was the location of my grandparents’ house. Their home was a place where my faith and creativity began. I am part of their legacy. I can’t wait to help you build yours.”
Olivia Lopez-Wheeler
“Olivia makes collaboration feel easy; she’s flexible and adapts well to project changes. Olivia joined a project midway and picked up as though she was part of the team since the beginning.
Olivia is sharp and thoughtful in taking initiative to offer new design ideas that’ll enhance the user's experience. Olivia helped visually communicate tough concepts into a friendly and approachable experience for our users.”
