Alongside her advisory practice, Taylor is a ceramic artist drawn to ancient modes of making—work that honors touch, material, and the intelligence of the hand in an increasingly technological world.

She has always been a collector: of toys, of art, of stories that carry memory and meaning. Time spent outdoors—hiking, wandering, and quite literally playing in the dirt—grounds her in a deep sense of connection and curiosity. She reads widely, returns often to puzzles, and finds particular joy in the daily ritual of the New York Times crossword.
