Taylor Hiette is a product designer with a passion for experimentation, visual craft, and intuitive systems.

Her work centers around product thinking, visual systems, and motion—where structure meets expression.

She began by customizing MySpace and teaching herself HTML at a young age, drawn to the idea that digital experiences could be shaped and improved. That mindset of ownership and iteration continues to guide her approach to design today.

With a background in gymnastics, Taylor brings a strong sense of rhythm, balance, and precision to her work. She applies these principles to interaction and motion, creating experiences that feel intentional, cohesive, and fluid.

Over time, her work has focused on simplifying complex ecosystems—designing scalable systems and frameworks that support consistency across products and teams. She partners closely with product, engineering, accessibility, and research to translate ambiguity into thoughtful, user-centered solutions.

Today, Taylor focuses on building products that bring clarity to complexity—systems that are intuitive, scalable, and crafted with precision, while still leaving room for personality.
