Taylor’s Professional Career Track

I’ve had a very interesting roller-coaster of a career track, and wouldn’t want it any other way. I began my marketing career at a boutique automotive firm and then worked my way up to larger communications agencies. While I learned and my skills grew, I felt like there was still something missing. Passion. So I took a step back from a traditional path to find it. Through environmental education and adventures in sustainability, I found a career track I’m passionate about using my seasoned marketing skills.

The list below starts with my most recent job and goes back in sequence below:

Design Workshop, Inc.

After my experience in the waste resource management industry, I joined Design Workshop – a national landscape architecture and urban planning firm with projects across the world. In fact, Design Workshop was the same design firm who developed the initial plans for the Southwestern Medical District Urban Streetscape Master Plan legacy project for the Texas Trees Foundation – of which I was intimately familiar with that project and Design Workshop’s graphic work.

I joined the firm as a Marketing Coordinator, who’s primary responsibility was managing project proposal submissions and supporting business development for the Austin studio and Texas region.

The evening was packed with activities and experiences that celebrated the summer solstice and TreeFolks’ mission. One of the highlights of the evening was the annual group photo.

These interactions were inspiring and reminded me of the power of coming together for a common cause.

Axe Throwing with Family

Today, I’m excited to share a couple of memorable experiences I had recently: axe throwing with my family to celebrate both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day! Join me as I recount these fun-filled adventures.

Mother’s Day Celebration

On Mother’s Day, instead of the usual brunch or dinner, my mom had a unique idea—axe throwing! We headed to a local axe throwing venue to celebrate, and it turned out to be an exhilarating and memorable experience. Both my mom and stepdad surprised us all with their skills, especially Richard, who managed a clutch “7pt” shot! It was a fantastic way to celebrate Mother’s Day with laughter, friendly competition, and a touch of adventure.

Father’s Day Excitement

For Father’s Day, I continued the tradition of unconventional celebrations by taking my dad axe throwing. It was his first time trying this activity, and he did remarkably well. What made this experience even more exciting was the addition of projector targets, including games like zombie knockout. The interactive targets added a new dimension to our axe throwing session, making it both challenging and incredibly fun.
