REFERENCES “There are those few people you meet in life that you want to emulate on a daily basis. Taylor is hands-down at the top of that list for me. The balance she strikes between well-rounded & creative, between consistent & ever-evolving, between strategic & intuitive - is absolutely inspiring. Over the years I’ve worked under her in a highly intense environment which was illuminated & improved by her fantastic leadership, and I’ve collaborated with her creatively where she developed my brand in a way I never thought possible.

Her playfully cultivated & creative momentum is so magnetic that I hope and would be lucky to continue working with Taylor for many years to come.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Taylor for several years. It’s a rare opportunity to work with someone so consistently dedicated to improving and growing. Taylor is thoughtful and patient and extremely giving to those she works with. She offers her skills and expertise without being prompted, which to me is more valuable to the success of a company than most would realize. Taylor possesses a variety talents, and attacks new challenges with gusto. What will always ensure her success is her advanced critical thinking and communication skills. She would be well suited somewhere that might need a woman who could wear more than one hat and wear them well. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.”

dding splashes of a bright color to a room full of earth tones will bring a gorgeous dynamic element to your room.
