Taylor is the most complete designer with whom I have ever had the pleasure of collaborating and building a product suite. A talented designer is not only the primary voice of the user, but an individual who can generate a vision for a product suite while ensuring the needs of the business, management of technical and business risk, and engineering wherewithal to make their vision a reality. Taylor can handle all of these requirements with aplomb. What he has done is nothing short of exceptional, and he is poised to take on any challenge that is put in front of him.

I'm fairly sure that Taylor is magic. His approach to UX yields the perfect blend of form and function, taking into account business goals, aesthetics, utility, and usability. His experience and his hunger for constant improvement has given him a perspective and a decision-making framework that is the best I've ever seen in action. He's a pleasure to work with and his work ethic is unparalleled. I would jump at the chance to be on his team every time.

Taylor is the best of the best. Certainly the most talented Visual Designer I have ever worked with and managed. I've enjoyed watching Taylor tinker in his flow-state making magic happen. I managed Taylor at STARZ and recruited him to Acumen (Sling TV) where he advanced the UX and design systems.

Taylor was the first design hire at CirrusMD where he quickly and positively inserted himself as the leader of our product design process, brand direction, online presence, universal design language, and company culture — always leading by reiterating the importance of design in any initiative. His academic, thoughtful approach to building rad things was a great addition to our product engineering team. I would gladly hire or work with Taylor again.

As the leader of the design team, Taylor is organized, supportive, and generous with his time and attention. He guides his direct reports from inception to the finish line with encouragement and levity. Taylor is also a talented product strategist, which directly impacts the company's strategy and roadmap. I experienced firsthand Taylor's ability to innovate and accurately predict trends while guiding our team's future thinking. I especially appreciate his focus on process and communication — he implemented steps and procedures to guarantee we were producing validated, high-quality deliverables in the right cadence with product and engineering.

Taylor's patience, willingness to educate, openness to diverse perspectives, and consistent, always-steady manner made me and my team better marketers. His partnership helped both our teams bring incredible value to our overall organization — evident in our digital design, brand identity, and thoughtful marketing influence on product launches. Taylor's thoughtfulness, empathy, and commitment to design thinking ensure that anything he touches will resonate powerfully with the intended end-user. If you are looking to build a human-centered team or product, Taylor is an essential ingredient to your equation.
