CV


The “B.” is for Brookelyn

But you can call me Taylor. 

I'm an artist, educator, graphic designer, and maker of marks based out of Greenville, South Carolina. I was raised barefoot along the briar patches and creek beds of Tennessee and the Carolinas, and have learned the value of keen storytelling, slow-n-steady wanderings, and sun-warmed tomatoes.

I love meeting new people and am available for freelance work, collaboration, and studio visits. Feel free to poke me for a chat! Until then – stay curious.

A random fun fact

since you made it this far
In 1959, Jimmy Stewart and his wife Gloria smuggled Yeti remains – a finger, to be exact – out of India as a favor to his pal Peter Byrne. With the assistance of Gloria’s lady luggage, the Hollywood partners in crime were able to successfully transport the relic to the U.K.
