Taylor Tabb

Product Design + Research + Creative Direction

Hey there! I’m Taylor. I love exploring how we can apply technology in unexpected ways. My background is a cross between mechanical engineering, advertising creative, and human-computer interaction. It’s a bit of an odd combination, but it works :)

I crave oddportunities (odd opportunities) — I built edible robotic show pieces while competing on Netflix’s Baking Impossible, have created DIY tiktoks for major brands, and have done a range of other artistic and technical projects. Feel free to connect with the form below if you want to discuss a project, or just say hi!

Currently I’m freelancing, but before that I led a research agenda on design and fabrication within the Future Technology Group at Accenture Labs. Before this, I worked at Deeplocal, making colorful interactive engineered systems, like art-making robots for Google, custom confetti for The NFL, and everything in between.

Want to get in touch? Send me a message below, or book a 30min call here. Happy to chit chat, about whatever weird tech nonsense is on your mind.
