Hi, I’m Taylor

I’m a children’s author and, in many ways, a social architect who loves creating opportunities for people to connect, feel a sense of belonging, and participate in impacting their community.

Based in Santa Cruz, CA, my work invites people into stories and moves them through connected experiences across books, community projects, and shared public spaces.
