Taylor provides ideas, methods, and strategies for our projects that far exceed his age and experience. Taylor is a tremendous asset to the studio providing a deeply thoughtful design process, willingness to uniquely explore any problem, and a reliable, positive attitude no matter the circumstances. Despite his limited years and experience, Taylor challenges everyone in the office to think differently and to approach our complex problem solving with the latest in technology—most notable is his knack for finding a more efficient way to solve almost anything with Parametric Modeling in Grasshopper— streamlining complex design ideas into files for ready for fabrication.

​

Taylor finished school winning a six-week study abroad award in Shanghai, PRC—this study abroad allowed for him to connect with local students, travel and explore various cities in China, and further refine his broad design point of view.
