Hey There!

I’m Taylor.

I believe the best brands don’t happen by accident. They’re built with curiosity, intention, and a willingness to challenge what’s expected.

Throughout my career I’ve had the opportunity to build brands from the ground up, refresh household names, launch new products, and create creative systems that help teams do their best work. What drives me isn’t simply making something beautiful. It’s solving the right problem and creating work that people genuinely connect with.

My Story

I grew up in the countryside of South Dakota, where endless horizons, quiet roads, and weekends spent outdoors shaped how I see the world. Surrounded by wide open landscapes and simple moments, I developed an appreciation for thoughtful design long before I knew it could become a career.

That curiosity led me to pick up a camera at a young age, always chasing interesting light, beautiful places, and stories worth remembering. Photography taught me to slow down, pay attention, and notice the details others often overlook. Those lessons continue to influence every project I take on today.

How I Think

For me, great creative isn’t decoration. It’s clarity.

Whether I’m building a new brand, directing a campaign, designing packaging, or helping a team rethink how they work, I always start with the same question:

What problem are we actually trying to solve?

The strongest ideas aren’t always the loudest. They’re the ones rooted in insight, built with intention, and executed with enough craft that they feel effortless.

That’s the kind of work I strive to create.

Beyond The Job Title

Outside of work you’ll usually find me exploring somewhere new with a camera, hiking coastal trails, snowboarding in the mountains, searching for an incredible cocktail bar, or planning my next trip.

Travel has become one of my biggest sources of inspiration. Experiencing different cultures, architecture, food, and design reminds me that the best ideas rarely come from staying in one place.

When I’m home, I’m happiest spending time with friends, discovering great restaurants, or wandering through a city with my camera in hand.

What I Believe

I believe great brands are built where strategy, creativity, and culture intersect.

I believe good leaders create environments where others can do the best work of their careers.

I believe AI should enhance creativity, not replace it.

And I believe curiosity is one of the most valuable qualities a creative person can have.
