Hello, my name is Taylor! I have a passion for visual design and development, especially in character and creature concept art. With a background in design and product management, I love combining creativity with detailed management to bring concepts to life. Whether I'm creating small concepts or collaborating with big brands like Jazwares, I enjoy making imaginative ideas tangible. Outside of work, I run my own small business designing and selling anime inspired merchandise. I also enjoy cosplay, sewing, and traveling. I'm always eager to learn more and connect with others in the creative community!
