Digitas Australia digital designer Oliver Ree tells LBB’s Natasha Patel about an almost career as a medical professional before realising that design is a more interesting way to change lives.
Growing up in Australia, Oliver Ree was always exposed to different elements of creativity. His father is a cinematographer and “a bit of a technophile” so it’s no surprise that some of Oliver’s first memories are of making films using his dad’s cameras. He also grew up with a nurse in the family in the form of his mother. In true childlike fashion he toyed with the idea of following his mum into the medical industry before realising he could change lives in a different way. “I actually considered a medical career for a while, but found design to be a more interesting way of solving people problems and improving lives.”
