Receptionist / Optical Assistant
Olivia May Younger
I joined the team at Taylor-West Optometrists in May 2025, shortly after relocating from London to Hove in search of a calmer, seaside lifestyle. From day one, I was drawn to the individuality of the practice — the modern aesthetic, the thoughtful approach to patient care, and the curated selection of independent eyewear designers.
In my role as a stylist and marketing assistant, I particularly enjoy the problem-solving aspect of frame styling. With such a diverse and exciting collection in-store, helping customers find the perfect frame, in terms of colour, shape, and fit, is both creative and rewarding. I often draw on my background in colour season analysis to guide clients towards shades that best complement their natural features, while always keeping their personal style and preferences in mind.
With over ten years’ experience in marketing and social media, I also take great pride in creating content for our online platforms. From photography to video editing, I enjoy the challenge of showcasing our eyewear brands in a way that reflects the distinctive personality of the store and our designers.
Outside of Taylor-West, I’m a professional singer and music teacher. I’ve had the privilege of performing around the world — from the Royal Albert Hall and West End theatres to festivals like Glastonbury.
