Who I am
Hey there, welcome to my portfolio site! My name is Taylor, I’m a San Diego local who loves to create just as much as I love math and puzzles. I love complex projects, trying new things, and solving problems!
Here you’ll find a selection of my work, from course projects to professional experiences. I'm proud of it all, and eager to add to it. I’ve put off making/publishing this site for so long due to fears of it being not “ready” or not enough, but have come to realize that there is no such thing as it being finished. It is a continuous work in progress, as are my experiences and skills.
I am so happy to have you here, and can’t wait to work with you.
Happy to have you

About me
-
I am a San Diego-based Cognitive Science student entering my fourth year at the University of California San Diego. I have ~3 years of visual/graphic design experience and ~2 years of experience as a research assistant for 2 labs in the Cognitive Science department at UCSD.
-
In addition to being a student, a research assistant, and a Sixth College Peer Advisor, I have also coached high school track for the past three years from January to May. I assist in planning and managing training for ~100 athletes, co-lead daily practices, coordinate and oversee up to five relay teams on any given day, and up to three competitions each week.
I have also volunteered for the non-profit organization Cake4Kids since October 2020. I’ve created almost 200 total cakes, cupcakes, and cookies over 100+ hours, learned to conceptualize large orders and designs from short requests, plan hours of prep, baking, and delivery on short notice, and communicate with numerous agencies about designated drop-offs.
-
When I have the time, my hobbies include bouldering, crocheting, baking, reading, and beaching. I have a 1 year old cat names Boots who gets much of my attention when I’m home. I’m on a journey to create more in my personal life like I used to, from poems to block printing. I love to go to the movies, make cakes, and have game nights with my friends (favorites include Codenames and Mario Party).
