With the new year coming, I wanted to share a little re-introduction post. I’m Olivia Bacz (she/they) — a writer, filmmaker, and digital media artist based in Chicago. Exciting projects coming in 2026!
Newest Substack article is out for “Anemoia: A Journal”.

“To be a woman is to perform”, we are to be pearls of perfect femininity but I find that sometimes they are deceivingly heavy to carry. This shoot sought to capture the beauty, burden, and the balance of what it is to be a woman and sometimes more. — Olivia

Thank you Olivia for bringing such a fun passion project to me and sharing your story with me. Up until now, I’ve been challenging myself with saturated color. But I’m always growing, so I appreciate the chance to explore something different. Each step I take in my artistic journey, is a step to a life long mission committed to expansion and expression. Big steps coming soon… — Day :,)

My journal ecosystem featuring: my bullet journal that serves as my monthly/weekly planner, my 2 notebooks that I use for the Artist’s Way Morning Pages and weekly tasks, and a lil key for my daily highlighter colors.
Most stickers and washi from @thecoffeemonsterzco . @mildliner_official highlighters and @sharpie pens are my personal go-tos for affordable and high quality stationary. @tombowusa brush pens for hand lettering.
