Hi there.

My name is Taylor, and I'm a first-generation, hapa gal navigating the world. I get my conviction from my kick-butt mama, who single-handedly raised me and my little brother. My goal is to radically change the world by serving others with my superpower, creativity. I enjoy writing things that make people feel deeply. Currently, I have the privilege of doing just that as a
Senior Copywriter at Area 23.

I'm passionate about climate change and intersectional equity. I make cool sounds on guitar, piano and ukulele; and one time I sang at Carnegie Hall. I also have a bad case of the travel bug; my favorite place that I've ever been to is Bagan, Myanmar. But at the end of the day, I try to live with kindness in mind.
