About Taylor Web Design

Growing up, my parents have always warned me against any creative endeavor. “Most artists are poor and crazy, except a few highly gifted”, they said.

My first exposure to design was at sixteen.

Though intrigued, I was certain I didn’t have enough talent to make a living as a designer. So I followed a conventional path, studying business and working in marketing, business analysis, and user experience research. Though those roles broadened my perspectives, there was something within that kept calling me towards becoming a creative.

Despite self-doubt, I began learning web design.

I took online courses and every month, analyzed 40-50 websites to create one that combines the best parts in them. If that sounds tedious, it’s because it is. But that was the only path my analytical brain can come up with to develop creativity.

For the first few years, my work wasn’t great.

I regularly compared myself to other designers, felt disappointed, and experienced creative blocks that made me want to give up. But I returned every time.

It was this period that taught me “fall down seven times, get up eight”, and keep going despite fears and self-doubt.

Eventually, my work quality improved to the point where I started getting clients. I took a leap of faith and quit my full-time job to be an independent web designer. 

It’s been over five years since my first website creation, yet designing still fills me with an immense sense of happiness. Whenever I finish a design, I can’t help dancing around the room and even shed tears sometimes.

I’m grateful for every opportunity that has allowed me to continue on my path. It’s from this deep gratitude that all my creative work flows from.

My commitment is to treat every client as if they were my only client, and to take every project like it was my last opportunity to design.
