Resume
Self-Employed,
Lorin Taylor Design, LLC
(1.15 – Present)
From branding and marketing to packaging and experiential design, I have approached every project with a deep understanding of how design impacts a brand's perception and growth. Working with industry leaders has meant translating rough concepts into polished, production-ready assets at a high standard. This includes developing mechanicals that ensure flawless production, retouching and color correction, and refining assets to align with brand guidelines, some of which I created. From crafting persuasive pitch decks and adapting key art across platforms, every deliverable is designed to be both strategically aligned and executionally precise.
Clients include: Google, Yelp, Supergoop!, Kiehl’s, Le Labo, PepsiCo, Squarespace, Huge, Wasserman, Olaplex, and Red Antler
