hello.
my name is Meredith Taylor. i’m 25. happily married to my best friend and the best boyfriend in the whole world. we have two children of the canine persuasion – Crystal who is the best therapy dog ever and always knows how to make me feel better, and Roxy who is a monster (but we love her).
i’ve been scrapbooking since grade school in one form or another. i love going back through all of my cheap albums with random photos, notes i passed in school, cards from little boyfriends, and other random bits and pieces. i’m a journal hoarder too. it was only about 2 1/2 years ago that i discovered scrapbooking for the madness and awesomeness that it is today. it all started when i went home to visit my parents, and my room had been converted into my mom’s very cool and very packed scrap room. she had TONS of papers, stickers, ribbons and fibers, stamps and inks…. a HUGE stash. and i was hooked.
since then i’ve been scrapping and crafting constantly. my style is really eclectic… i love trying everything that i see to experiment with how it fits into my own aesthetic and my other work. i really love bright colors (except when i love a more subdued color palette), graphic art, typography, and amateur photography. i don’t consider myself an artist. at least not yet. i do believe that we are all capable of making beautiful art regardless of our label. i believe that there is art in everyday (shameless blog plug)… from the starbucks fix, to the late-night train ride home after work – it’s all in your perspective.
PortraitBug is an amazing opportunity for me and i’m so excited to be part of Kim’s vision. when i moved to Jersey City i knew there were absolutely no scrapbooking stores in Manhattan and knew that had to change. thankfully on a rather stressful day i stumbled upon Kim’s listing online and a great friendship and business relationship was born. i’m 100% committed to making PortraitBug the ultimate scrap boutique and community for all you Big Apple scrappers! we are working hard to make sure that the product we carry is amazing and high quality, that our design team is outstanding (and let me telly you i’m totally stoked on our team!!), and that the community we build is strong, supportive, and FUN! i can’t wait to start sharing all of the things we have planned for our first year.
ok, shhh… meredith. enough about me. all of the PB visitors will be full up on me as we travel down this road together. i bet everyone is excited to hear about our other designers right? starting tomorrow we’ll be posting all of their bios AND on thursday we’ll have some fun news straight from CHA. don’t forget to subscribe to our blog so you are the first to know as news is posted, and if you have any questions don’t be afraid to email me at meredith@portraitbug.com.
