Hi, I'm Taylor Grulke
When I was a senior in high school, I collected SKYY vodka ads—you know the ones: the brightly colored, sexy ads with that perfect cobalt blue bottle. I lined a wall in my freshman dorm room with my collection. Those ads inspired me to get into advertising, but it wasn’t until junior year when I realized that it was graphic designers who created my favorite print ads. Twelve years later, I now have my own creative executions under my belt, ranging from traditional print media to digital programmatic banners and website UI development, and am searching for a home where I can have a positive influence in this world and feel empowered to bring our client’s dreams to life, while maintaining a sustainable family-work balance.
