hiii, welcome!!!so glad you found me (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)

I’m Taylor, a product designer and storyteller, endlessly curious about how people learn, connect, and make sense of the world.

At the heart of my work is a fascination with people: what makes us tick, what brings us together, and the little things that shape our everyday experiences. I believe thoughtful design begins with asking good questions, paying attention, and being willing to rethink what we thought we knew.

I love untangling big, messy problems and finding ways to make them feel clear, approachable, and (ofc!) delightful. Whether through design, data viz, writing, video, or whatever medium I'm learning next, figuring out how best to tell a story is half the fun!

A FEW THINGS I BELIEVE IN...

  • [01] follow your curiosity — you never know where it might take you!
  • [02] think in systems — nothing exists in isolation. zoom out and see the bigger picture.
  • [03] test early and often — get your ideas out into the world and don’t be afraid to kill your darlings.

    exploring the world

    Sometimes all you really need is to #bookthattrip. 10 countries down, and an ever-growing list of places I want to explore!

    Fun fact: I've studied abroad twice! First in Taipei, Taiwan, and most recently in Madrid, Spain.

    taking public transit

    Growing up in LA, where the nearest grocery store was a 2-hr walk away, I’ve become a huge advocate for safe, affordable, and accessible public transit. My ideal utopia would be a walkable world.

    Fun fact: I once took a 35-hour Amtrak ride from LA → Seattle!

    fangirling at concertsss

    There’s truly nothing quite like the collective serotonin boost of screaming your lungs out at a concert with your favorite people.

    Fun fact: I braved the BTS ticket war 3x!

    devouring yummy food

    As a self-proclaimed foodie and coffee enthusiast, I take great joy in scouring the internet for the best eats and drinks in every city I visit.

    Fun fact: I am an avid beli enjoyer and I have ranked 280 spots (and counting!) this year (ᵕˆヮˆ)
