Louise Olsen and Stephen Ormandy met while studying at City Art Institute in the 1980s. Together with fellow student Liane Rossler, they started a stall at Sydney's Paddington Markets called Dinosaur Designs and enjoyed instant success when they began working with resin, which they pioneered as an art form.

Today, the business employs 85 people and there are nine stores around the world including Melbourne, New York, and London.

Louise Olsen is the daughter of well-known artists John Olsen and Valerie Strong, and Stephen Ormandy is also an artist in his own right.
