design philosophy

Taylor’s design philosophy is that engaging, communicative and intuitive design comes from a translation of users' actual patterns. With a focus on clean design and optimization, she strives to create accessible, seamless and user-friendly experiences in every design.

She believes the hallmark of good design is accessibility. Everyone, no matter how unique their need may be, should be accounted for in the earliest stages of ideation in product design. It’s the designer’s job to never stop asking “what next?”

“Design is a formal response to a strategic question.” - Mariona Lopez

“Styles come and go. Good design is a language, not a style.” - Massimo Vignelli

“Design is as much an act of spacing as an act of marking." - Ellen Lupton
