Hi there!

I’m Taylor and I’m a writer, artist, and creative strategist based in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a strong focus on the intersection of culture and identity.

With over five years of experience across various mediums—including editorial writing, podcast production, visual arts, and audio journalism—I’ve cultivated a deep passion for storytelling that promotes equity and empathy.

I was formally trained at NPR as a Kroc Fellow, where I contributed to award-winning teams like NPR Music and the Code Switch podcast. Currently, I’m the podcast content strategist at Headspace, where I help produce shows that promote mental and emotional wellness.

My goal is to always bring a mission-driven approach to my work. Every piece of content I create authentically reflects the unique stories of the people and brands they represent.

Let’s tell your story together!
