When I sat down with Emily Harper, a junior designer at Olivia Caplan Design, I was eager to delve into the world behind the 334 likes on Olivia Caplan’s TikTok video. The video in question, part of the “30 Design Tips in 30 Days – Series 2,” has been captivating audiences with its practical advice and creative flair. Emily, who has been working closely with Olivia for over a year, offered a unique perspective on the process and passion that go into producing such engaging content.

“Olivia has this incredible knack for making design accessible,” Emily began, her enthusiasm evident. “She really knows how to break down complex ideas into bite-sized, digestible tips that anyone can apply to their own space.” As a burgeoning interior designer herself, Emily appreciates the way Olivia mixes traditional design principles with modern trends to reach a broad audience.
According to Emily, the idea for the series stemmed from Olivia’s desire to democratise design knowledge. “Not everyone can afford to hire an interior designer,” Emily explained. “Olivia wanted to create content that empowers people to enhance their living spaces on their own terms.”
Creating the TikTok videos involves a meticulous process. Emily described how the team gathers to brainstorm, drawing from a variety of sources including current trends, client experiences, and timeless design principles. “We try to keep it fresh and relevant,” she said. “Our aim is to inspire viewers to see their homes in new ways.”
One of the standout features of Olivia’s videos is her ability to address both aesthetic and functional aspects of design. Emily recounted how Olivia often emphasises the importance of balancing beauty with practicality. “In Episode 19, for example, Olivia talked about the use of colour to not only elevate a space visually but also to influence mood and functionality,” Emily recalled. “It’s all about creating a harmonious environment.”
The series has also been a learning experience for Emily. She shared how the process has enriched her own design philosophy. “Working with Olivia has taught me the value of storytelling in design,” she said. “Each space has a narrative, and every element can contribute to that story.”
Emily also touched on the challenges of creating content in the fast-paced world of social media. “There’s a lot of pressure to stay relevant and engaging,” she admitted. “But Olivia handles it with such grace. She knows how to connect with her audience in a genuine way, which is why her videos resonate so well.”
As we chatted, it became clear that the success of Olivia’s TikTok series is rooted in authenticity and passion. Emily described Olivia as someone who truly loves what she does and is committed to sharing that love with others. “She often says that design is not just about making things look good; it’s about improving quality of life,” Emily noted. “That’s the message she strives to convey in every video.”
Looking ahead, Emily expressed excitement about future projects and the potential to further explore the intersection of design and technology. “There’s so much potential with digital platforms,” she said. “We’re always looking for new ways to engage with our audience and bring innovative ideas to the table.”
In closing, Emily reflected on the journey so far and the impact of their work. “It’s rewarding to see how our tips can transform people’s homes and lives,” she said with a smile. “At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about – making a positive difference through design.”
As I left the conversation with Emily, I couldn’t help but feel inspired by the dedication and creativity that drive Olivia Caplan Design. The “30 Design Tips in 30 Days” series is more than just a collection of videos; it’s a testament to the power of design to enrich our daily lives. For those seeking inspiration and practical advice, Olivia’s TikTok channel remains a vibrant resource, blending expertise with accessibility in a way that speaks to both novice decorators and seasoned design enthusiasts alike.
