Taylor possesses a profound adaptability honed through meticulous research into the essence of each brand, a thorough comparison with competitive counterparts, and a relentless pursuit of growth opportunities. She integrates her discerning eye for color, texture, print, and craftsmanship, crafting a design approach that exudes femininity, opulence, artisanship, and vibrancy, seamlessly blending tailored precision with fluid drapery.
Taylor’s passion lies in cultivating environments imbued with warmth, encouragement, patience, and a growth-oriented mindset. Within such nurturing spaces, creativity flourishes effortlessly, fostering a spirit of adventure and boundless passion among both herself and the teams she leads. Taylor holds steadfast to the principles of organization and clear communication, recognizing them as indispensable pillars of a triumphant team dynamic, values she deeply cherishes.
Above all, Taylor embraces a collective ethos, championing a "we" not "me" mentality, as all parts of the body are essential to create movement.
