About
I’m Taylor—a creative who loves turning brands from “liked” into loved. I believe great design starts with empathy, curiosity, and a bit of experimentation. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with clients across a range of industries, from lean tech startups to mission-driven nonprofits—each one shaping how I approach design and storytelling.
I’m always exploring, refining, and picking up new skills along the way. These days, I focus on branding and visual storytelling, UI design, and web design—with a soft spot for email marketing and front-end development.
If you’re looking for thoughtful, impactful design – let’s talk about what we can build together.

Skills
Web & Visual Design

Over the last decade I have designed UX experiences, Websites, E-Mail Marketing Campaigns, Tradeshows, Editorial Print Pieces, and more.
Creative
Strategy
Did you know that two draft horses that trust each other can pull up to 32,000 pounds or more (33% increase) over the ~24,000 pounds two unfamiliar horses can manage, and four times the 8,000-pound capacity of a single horse.
Similarly, something that I believe is critical between Creative and Marketing teams to develop a strategy that is impactful. I approach new campaigns or product launches from an informed perspective of what goals are to be achieved and how the creative and messaging can compliment one another to maximize results.
Branding &
Identity
Brand Identity should align with the strategic goals of the product, which is where my process begins. All visual, tonal, and experiential touchpoints of a brand should resonate as one collective narrative to the audience.
Art
Direction
A rising tide raises all ships. One of the most fulfilling parts of my career has been to coach and elevate my fellow creatives by enabling them to find the best solution. Being a project or team lead requires a strong creative vision, emotional intelligence, communication skills, and the ability to create stellar work within the timelines proposed for the project.
