Hi! I’m Taylor! I am a passionate creative with experience in visual and motion design. I received my Bachelor of Arts in digital design from Grand Canyon University with an emphasis in animation. I am currently working as a social media designer with Fanbasis, Inc, a monetization platform that helps to promote rising creators in the entertainment, music, and sports scene. I am looking forward to helping you make your vision a reality! I have been passionate about all things creative since my childhood. My first introduction to digital design, specifically animation, came when I was twelve, when I was working as a set designer for a children’s theater troupe. It being a children’s theater company, we did a lot of Disney shows, and I would often go back to watch the old classics for inspiration. Even though some would think I was at the age of outgrowing those movies, I fell in love with them all over again. Once I figured out those movies were simply made of multiple drawings strung together, I knew it was what I wanted to do. I went into college with the dream of opening my own cartoon studio, a goal I still strive for. But when I got there, I discovered a whole new world in the realm of motion graphics, those animations we see every day in ads, social media, and YouTube infographics. It became just as exciting to me as any Disney animation. I want to help others visually capture their dreams just as I did. I am all too familiar that rush of excitement you get when you see your vision on paper or on the screen in front of you for the first time, alive and moving. I want others to experience that as well, and I want to share in that excitement. So let me take part in your journey and let me help you make your vision reality.
