Our Mission
We help creative entrepreneurs achieve their extraordinary goals without compromising their health and happiness.
OCCO London is founded by creatives for creatives. We develop productivity tools empowering you to win at business and life.
We’re also a community that believes mindset is a key factor for creating the success you want. Journals and desk pads won’t change the world on their own. But with a lets-slow-down-to-speed-up, growth-over-perfection spirit, the individuals who use them can.
Our on-the-go community treats every day like it’s made for high-performance happiness, and we’re always slowing down to do better too. Like designing products from responsibly sourced materials and recycled paper; caring for both your body and the planet.

The Story Behind Ollie and Clare
Unknown to each other at the time, Ollie and Clare were both working as designers in London.
Ollie was designing the theatre sets for Bat Out of Hell: The Musical, Dream Girls: The Musical, and The Nutcracker Ballet, whilst Clare was designing retail spaces for Tanqueray, Cadbury, and Lacoste.
They both experienced high levels of stress, pressure, and exhaustion.
They discovered that we couldn't continue living this way; their success was destroying both their happiness and health. They both burned out. Clare was medically diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and Ollie suffered from suicidal thoughts.
Arriving back in the Cotswolds, they first met on a Bumble date. Over the next three years, they both worked with therapists and life coaches to become themselves again, happy, healthy, and medication-free!
OCCO London was born out of suffering; we don't want you to suffer as we did. It could have all been prevented if we had had the products we designed.
High performers naturally have extremely high expectations and therefore are very susceptible to anxiety, low mood, and exhaustion. Our products are here to help you continue to perform at a high level and be happy and healthy.
We’ve gone from burnout, anxiety, and depression to being confident, at ease, and in control. We are excited to be part of thousands of other ambitious go-getters in their journey towards high-performance happiness.
