My name is Taylor and I'm a visual designer based in Austin, Texas. I originally earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology and began my career in sales, but I quickly realized I wanted work that allowed for creativity and problem solving. I returned to school to study visual design and recently completed my associate degree at Austin Community College while working full-time.
I'm excited to keep growing as a designer and to step into a role where I can create meaningful, thoughtful work.
When I'm not designing, you can find me with my dog, running or biking around Austin, playing sand volleyball, or drinking coffee.
