Working on projects is another thing that Taylor really enjoys. She has worked on the Tiny House project where she helped build an off-the-grid 238 sq. ft. house that rotated to track the sun. She has also interned at FileMaker and Apple where she worked on scripting and machine learning, respectively. She has also done research at Santa Clara University where she proved a Master's thesis theorizing the possibility diverting power to both the battery and the load to improve the efficiency of NanoGrids. She presented at the IEEE SusTech Poster Presentations in Phoenix, Arizona won 4th place out of 17.

In her free time, Taylor enjoys bullet journaling and hand lettering as a way to stay organized and let out her artsy side. She also loves to go hiking, playing guitar and snowboarding.
