Hi, I’m Taylor. Born and raised in Los Angeles, now based in New England, I’m a special effects artist and costume designer working in the IATSE Motion Picture Union. I love making spooky, whimsical, and gloriously macabre ideas real; whether that’s a fully articulated creature suit, a weathered period costume or something other worldly.

I specialize in horror and practical effects: custom costume builds, aging and distressing, and immersive designs that hold up on camera and in person. My work can be seen in The Walking Dead: Dead City (Season 2), Hocus Pocus 2, Netflix’s Lucifer, Madame Web, and other projects. I take the same attention to detail from set work into every commission, big or small.

Why trust me with your project?

• Professional background: I work union on film and television, and I meet industry standards for safety, durability, and practicality.

• Practical experience: Years of set work mean I design with real conditions in mind such as movement, wear, camera close-ups, and long shoots.

• Custom focus: Everything I make is designed specifically for the character and story you want to tell.

• Quality materials & craftsmanship: I use professional-grade materials, and I specialize in aging and distressing that reads true and holds up.

• Transparent process: I’ll walk you through concept sketches, materials, timelines, and pricing so there are no surprises.
