About Me

My name is Taylor (also known as TJ) and I am currently based in Chicago. In 2016, I earned my BFA In Interior Architecture from Columbia College Chicago with the intentions of pursuing Architecture.

It wasn’t until after graduating that I favored graphic design and pivoted my career in that direction by going to the corporate office of a global fast food chain and filling a hybrid role on the US Restaurant Design Team as their Architectural Rendering Designer and Environmental Graphic Designer. Then, about two years into my hybrid role, I wanted to evolve my skills and bring what I had learned into UX/UI Design, so I earned a certificate in UX Design through Google.

Today, I feel as though I have found the industry I belong in, as I am now a UX Design Consultant at a tech agency in Chicago. I've had the opportunity to work in various industries, including finance, public health and higher education.

In my free time, I enjoy painting, travel photography, reading and spending quality time with my cat, Henri.
