JOEL TAYLOR

MULTIDISCIPLINARY CREATIVE

From a young age, I've been driven by a desire to create from scratch. Growing up without television, I honed my mental capabilities and found solace in art. At 16, I transitioned to design, inspired by the unique styles of basketball players.

My early entrepreneurial ventures, though challenging, equipped me with valuable skills. I leveraged these skills to design posters for school events and later, during the pandemic, combined my passion for design with photography. This synergy has allowed me to excel as a conversationalist, designer, and entrepreneur.

My unconventional journey has fueled my unwavering passion and determination. I invite you to explore my portfolio and discuss how my unique perspective can contribute to your team.

Photography

Started in 2018

For many, the pandemic was a time of reflection and reinvention. For me, it ignited a spark of creativity. While I'd always captured moments with my phone, the quarantine provided the perfect opportunity to elevate my hobby to the next level. Armed with a new camera and a thirst for knowledge, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and artistic growth. From simple self-portraits to building a loyal clientele, I've come a long way, and I'm incredibly proud of the trust my clients place in my work.
