Category: Place The Bottom Creative District
Taylor is the creative director and visionary behind My Side of the Story, bringing 15 years of experience in public art, along with a strong background in community building, partner relations, and designing impactful programs. She earned a Bachelor of Design and a Master of Architecture from the University of Florida and has practiced architecture and lighting design in Europe, California, and New York, working alongside notable figures such as Howard Branston, responsible for the lighting of the Statue of Liberty, and Annie Chu, who worked with Frank Gehry. Although she is not eligible to compete for an award in the competition, she has won numerous awards in public art, believing that architecture and art can enhance both spaces and lives. Taylor is excited about the opportunity to create her first quilt. Most of her career as a public art director has been spent activating spaces in the Creative District, and she plans for her 'map' quilt to reflect that spirit of the past she is working to preserve in the present.
