Resumé
I like designing compelling visuals that embody my client’s values, address their needs, and find common
ground with their audience.
Howdy there!
I’m Taylor.
If you threw a rock in the middle of Austin, TX, you'd hit someone with a Pink Floyd T-Shirt. In fact, you’d hit me.
When I was 14, I discovered the epic album covers of 70’s rock. Before I knew it, I was headfirst down a vinyl-collecting rabbit hole, amazed that one image could package a body of music, and mentally cue it on sight.
Today, I'm no less inspired by the power of visuals to conjure a value, message, or idea.*
* Perhaps a little less angsty, though.
My ever-present goal? To create thoughtful visuals which cue up a brand the same way an album cover cues our favorite tunes.
I also enjoy collecting vinyl, long-distance running, Christopher Nolan movies, chocolate, the state of Texas (yeehaw and hook ‘em horns), and exploring the U.S. on the road (13 states down, 37 to go!)
