TAYLOR WHITFIELD
I'm a passionate and curious Product Designer and Artist living and exploring in Washington, DC.
ABOUT ME
DESIGN EXPERIENCE
Howdy! I’m Taylor, a creative product designer with a keen eye for detail and a drive for innovation. I pride myself on crafting simple experiences based on data and user research. I have worked in design since 2020- at a small start up and most recently at General Motors. I have a degree in Psychology, and believe this has allowed me to create human-centered designs that inspire and impress. My experience has allowed me to build skills including communicating with partners, presenting in large forums, sticking to strict timelines, and pivoting quickly when priorities change.
Outside of work, I spend my time creating and crafting. I thrive when I am pushed out of my comfort zone and get to learn something new. Currently, I’m teaching myself how to sew and make my own clothing. Wish me luck!
