-
Translate cultural and consumer shifts into actionable perspective—without reactive trend-chasing.
-
Identify and introduce aligned partners to build structured collaborations that strengthen—never dilute—the brand.
-
Advise on launch timing, positioning, and distribution strategy before significant resources are committed.
Approach
Taylor works closely with founders and their teams to define priorities and direction across an organization. Her approach is collaborative and transparent, supported by a trusted network of designers, artists, and vetted partners. She brings an energetic, deeply engaged presence to every project she takes on.
Curious across disciplines and undeterred by complexity, she approaches challenges the way she approaches a puzzle—with patience, attention, and a belief that clarity emerges through play. Her aim is to honor and protect the integrity of a brand as it evolves.
Feeling lost?
If you’re navigating a new market, a critical decision, or a shift in direction, Taylor welcomes the opportunity to understand your goals and determine how she can help.
