About me:
Summer Taylor
I’ve spent years crafting compelling copy for consumers and businesses—and helping other writers do the same. I excel in creative concepting, distilling complex ideas and concepts into engaging stories and offers, and creating, leading, and executing campaigns. I’m a strong visual thinker with interpersonal skills that allow for effective and enjoyable collaboration with colleagues plus strong leadership and copy and design direction for creative teams.
Previously, I was an associate creative director at Kaiser Permanente, where I helped a team of writers and designers produce high-quality print and digital materials for internal and external audiences. I was involved in every stage of the creative process, from brainstorming to editing to presenting. I also collaborated with business partners and stakeholders to ensure alignment with brand voice and strategy.
I love Summer's intelligent sense of humor. When I see she is assigned to a project with me I know the process will be fun, even for the most complex scenarios.
Summer cares deeply about her audiences and goes the extra mile to make sure she understands a topic before she writes about it. When Summer gets feedback, she makes sound judgment calls based on brand and editorial style. She has a good design eye and offers valuable feedback on how information is presented so that it carries the most impact.
Summer's knowledge and skills are such an asset. But beyond her in-depth knowledge, her customer-centric approach and high standards really drive projects to new levels.
