Hi, I’m Taylor Gautreaux!
(Pronounced go-tr-o-h)
I’m a creative professional based in North Eastern Louisiana, with a focus on human-centric design, fine art, photography, and illustration. My creative journey started early—sketching, painting, and teaching myself Photoshop—before expanding into photography, graphic design, and technology. With degrees in both art and cyber technology, plus experience designing and developing web applications, I bring together artistry and problem-solving to create meaningful, modern work.
When I’m not designing or behind a camera, you’ll usually find me with a good book, spending time with my family, or experimenting in the kitchen.
Stay inspired,
Tay
