Hi, I’m Taylor.
Designer, performer, co-founder, writer, and a few other things, depending on the day.
I don't fit neatly into one box, and I've stopped trying to. I'm an artist first, a strategist (close) second, and someone who believes that beauty and function aren't just compatible—they're inseparable.
My greatest skill?
Making people stop and feel something… whether that's through a brand system, a website, a stage performance, or a poem. Let me tell you how I got here.
The Path Here
I didn't set out to be a designer. I've always been a performer at heart. Acting, artistic swimming, singing on stages. I was drawn to storytelling, to creating something that moved people.
See my first headshot to the left!
After earning a Bachelor of the Arts in music, I took an Event Director role at Nashville's only all-female country music collective. I managed visual branding, social strategy, and showcase booking. It was a crash course in doing all the things, and I learned fast.
From there, I started my freelance career. I worked under a mentor at an agency who taught me the craft. I became Art Director for a bar. Brand Manager at an herbal wellness company. Each role taught me something, but none of them felt like home.
Because here's what I learned: I need projects with a beginning, middle, and end. I need to come in, give everything I have, and then leave—not because I don't care, but because I care too much. My heart's too big to pour it all into one place indefinitely.
So I took the leap. Full-time, project-based work.
Creating with intention, on my terms.
What I Believe
Design is the marriage of beauty and function. I live for work that solves a problem and adds something to a person's experience.
I will die on a thousand hills in pursuit of excellence. I'm opinionated, strong-willed, and unafraid to push back when something compromises the work. But I also believe that every project is an opportunity to enter into intentional relationship—even if it's temporary. Maybe especially because it's temporary.
Beauty isn't a luxury. It's foundational.
It's the wrought-iron door instead of the hollow core. The velvet cinema seat instead of the cracked pleather. The details that make you stop and feel something.
I contain multitudes.
I'm a co-founder of MADE Foundation, an art nonprofit that makes art accessible to both artists and audiences. We produce exhibitions that start with an open call. There is one shared concept, one deadline, and an invitation for anyone to create. Because we believe every person is creative and deserves a platform to share their work.
MADE is my biggest win. Not any client project will live up to MADE (though I'm proud of those too). Because it's where I get to walk the talk. Beauty as necessity, not luxury. Art as connection, not gatekeeping.
AND I’m actor. A model. A photographer. A photo assistant. A poet. A writer. And I hope to be a great many more things before my time is up.
I’m not a designer who also acts. Not an artist who also strategizes.
And is at the center of my life.
I am… all of it.
Maybe that resonates with you. Maybe you're also a founder and a mother, a strategist and a dreamer, someone who refuses to be one thing. If so, you're in the right place.
I see you.
I'd love to help you bring your vision to life.
