Hi! I’m Taylor — you might know me on Instagram as @tayst. I’m a creative entrepreneur. My work is focused on illustration, brand design, & creative direction for clients big & small.

I love what I do.

I started this business with high hopes & humble ambition. It began with distracted doodles & daydreaming of a future me, creating for magazines, musicians & big-time fashion brands. Those dreams turned into passion projects. Passion projects turned into a side hustle & somehow this side hustle turned into a full-time gig. More than 5 years later, I am so lucky I get to call this my career — I have connected with creatives around the world, traveled to fun new destinations for work, & created artwork for people that I never thought would know my name.

With hard work & passion, I have been lucky enough to create meaningful work for brands & personalities around the world. I was in awe of businesswomen who were able to live life on their own terms & have the freedom to explore & create their own lifestyle & career. That being said, I spent the first few years solely focused on content creation & mastering the art of utilizing social media for marketing & business. I realized early on, I needed to be able to pivot, constantly trend forecast & never stop learning. In addition to my illustration & design work, among other things, I have added website design, social media management, & photography to my portfolio. Early on in my career, I worked with a small group of successful young women, to create La Femme Collective, a platform for women in business to share their experiences & life lessons in their respected fields. I learned at that point, how important the power of social connection & networking is.

From photographing & designing for Coachella; public speaking as an artistic collaborator for the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Note phone, & illustrating numerous printed spreads for publications such as Glamour, GQ, & Elle Canada — I realized I am more than just an illustrator, but instead a full-time creative entrepreneur. I love what I do & enjoy connecting with so many interesting people & companies.
