Top 3 Skills

I learned the power of a strong brand before I learned how to tie a tie. I grew up watching my single mom launch businesses out of our garage: taking risks, navigating failures, and harnessing creativity to create an unmistakable identity. Today, I combine that DNA with a keen eye for trends and an instinct for speaking to emerging audiences to help make sure brands I work with aren’t just following the market—they’re leading it.

Since I launched my first business at 19, I’ve recognized that creative isn’t just a tactic. It’s where entrepreneurs allow their imaginations to speak better than a business plan can. Where art meets science to create a world consumers want to live in. Where brands become something bigger. I’ve concepted, written, designed, and directed creative teams, turning insights into something more enduring. What I do is whatever it takes to make the creative breakthrough.

I’ve traveled the globe TWICE OVER and met some of the most interesting and influential people, who remain close to me today. I also come FROM A crazy family story I’ll tell you sometime over tacos and tequila.

AS A RESULT, I developed a knack for connecting with people from every corner of the globe, building relationships from bar tops to board rooms. I don’t think business is about selling great ideas—it’s about building strong enough relationships to help bring the best ideas to life. I’ve got a proven track record of putting people first to make sure great results follow.

“Taylor is relentless in pursuit of new opportunities, getting things started, doing his part, and connecting team members in optimism, thoughtfulness, and transparency. He understands the business, speaks strategy and creative without an accent, and balances realism with well-timed "screw it - let’s go for it" moments.

In short, he's the sort of person that makes what's possible happen.”
