About the Artist

Olivia Phillips is a Northern Virginia-based illustrator and digital designer who did everything right for a long time — and then quit.

After years climbing to VP-level in the corporate world, burnout won. So she walked away, dusted off her Illustrator skills, and stopped making things that had to be approved by a committee.

The aesthetic is informed by three decades of thrifting, a 90s goth phase she has no interest in outgrowing, and the specific kind of clarity that only comes from burning out completely and refusing to go back.

She's also a part-time vintage reseller and a parent putting a kid through college — which means this isn't a hobby. Dubious Doodles is a second act.

About Dubious Doodles

If you've ever walked past a shelf of beige home decor and felt personally offended — you're in the right place.

Dubious Doodles launched in late 2024 as a print-on-demand shop built around original illustration and digital design. Olivia's premise is simple: life is short, swearing is caring, bigots suck, and you deserve to be surrounded by things that make you happy.

The aesthetic lives where maximalism meets the macabre — jewel tones and inky blacks, vintage ladies with opinions, florals that would absolutely start an argument, cats, sparkles, and the occasional profanity hiding in plain sight. It's mixing the delicate with the profane, and making no apologies for either.

Every design is original. Every product is printed on demand — no landfill fodder, no warehouse full of things nobody wanted. Just art that knows what it is
