Hi.

I’m Taylor—writer, dad, designer, and awkward overthinker.

I write about the things I used to avoid: grief, parenthood, creative failure, identity, and the quiet patterns we inherit (and sometimes break).

My current book project, Help Wanted: Awkward Overthinker, is a memoir told through short, loosely connected chapters—equal parts funny and sad. I’m publishing it here one post at a time.

This site is also a home for my art, children’s book progress, and new poems or reflections as they come.

I used to run a screenprinting business, now I spend a lot of time watching worms with my kids.
