David Taylor is the reluctant technologist here to champion the everyman. His approach is rooted in curiosity, failure, and humor. When he’s the subject of conversation you might overhear an enthusiastic “Hire this man!” but it may just be hearsay.

As a graduate from Brigham Young University and the University of Washington’s iSchool, his unique background blends advertising communication with the information sciences. For the past decade he has worked in newspaper print publishing, corporate communications, and privacy policy management consulting. His expertise includes a suite of human-centered design methodologies such as journey maps, taxonomies, card sorts, user interviews, and survey design. Some professional areas of interest include accessibility, service design, plain language writing, videogames and child safety.

David loves writing, field research, and his mother. He does not love sudden noises, snow, or finance.
