PROFILE
I'm Taylor. I like minimalism, typography, and a classic Disney animated movie. I am extremely passionate and self-motivated with every project using my keen sense of detail & readiness to learn. I enjoy strategic planning, collaborating on art direction, organizing files in my free time, and scrolling through social media trends.
EMPLOYMENT
Clever Factory Inc. - Publishing Project Lead
Tennessee | July 2021 - Present
My favorite design projects are the ones that challenge me, like a puzzle piece that depends on kerning to fit just right. But when I stepped into a position leading children’s books, I felt a new sense of responsibility. Even if it’s just correcting a punctuation mark or removing the cyan from a yellow so it stands a little brighter, every step feels like nurturing the story to its full potential.
Shop Talk - Brand Manager, Designer, & Social Media Manager
Tennessee | January 2018 - July 2021
Sub-brand of PinkPro Beauty; The beauty industry thrives on the color black, because it's neutral and doesn't stain - Shop Talk challenged this thought with a line of vibrant, pop-art-style tools and accessories that encourages its followers to be as unique and colorful as their creations with hair, makeup, or nails are.
PinkPro Beauty Supply - Creative Lead, Designer, & Social Media Manager
Tennessee | July 2017 - July 2021
Operating as a small fish in a big pond in the global beauty industry was hard until the team found the gaps with the so-called “big guys.” You know, the big companies that everyone buys from because they can’t think of anywhere else. With a growth rate of 180% per year, I’d say our team established a home town, cares-about-you brand (complete with hand written notes and professional brands straight from the manufacturers) that fits perfectly into those gaps.
