"Hello! I'm Tayler O., a Visual Development Artist, Art Director, and professor working in the film and games industry. My work has been featured in several games, cinematics, and marketing material across the broad entertainment field including Gucci, Team Fight Tactics, and the game Spider-Man 2. Outside client work, I teach at Laguna College of Art and Design in Southern California.

As an educator, I have taught various age ranges, working with kids as young as five, to college graduates seeking portfolio development. My class sizes have also fluctuated from full classrooms of twenty students to intimate one-on-one tutor sessions in person and online. Education is one of the most fulfilling occupations I've have had the privilege to pursue throughout my career. Observing an individual's growth and seeing how they have benefited from my knowledge and expertise is rewarding beyond description. Not only have I been able to help others, but my lessons have reinforced the principles and ideas I use in my professional and personal work.

I impress upon my students a mindset that will not only help them guide their pursuits in art but most importantly, a mindset that will help them in all aspects of life. Art is a pursuit that can be very arduous when taken seriously, and when approached with the proper mentors, it can aid an individual when obstacles and hindrances arise.
