About

Brad Taylor

Brad Taylor is a furniture design graduate student at Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA. Brad started out on the design career track at a young age and graduated with his Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree from the University of Cincinnati in 2002. Lured by the Southern California sun and the prospect of unlimited earnings, he moved to San Diego, CA and began working in the residential real estate industry selling homes. After 15 years selling homes and an ever growing sensation of feeling incomplete in life, Brad deliberately decided to make any change necessary to discover his purpose in life. As a result of self-guided experimentation, a strong hunger for interior design and natural curiosity, he created his own company selling unique artistic lighting fixtures made utilizing the second life of found glasswares, pottery, automobile parts and other materials. After being accepting into the graduate furniture design program at the Savannah College of Art and Design, he moved to Savannah, GA to further furniture design on a deeper level.

INFLUENCES ON MY WORK;

1. A strong architectural design influence that was honed while obtaining my Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Cincinnati in 2002.

2. A design aesthetic that has risen out of navigating the highs and the lows of life and not forgetting the learned and lived perspective that both realms provided.

3. The knowledge obtained while working on my M.A. in Furniture Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design (Graduated Spring 2023) as a "non-traditional" student on a passionate mission to find a career that provides purpose.

4. The artistic skills, deep empathy for others and pure love inherited from my mother coupled with the technical skills, practical knowledge and "get your hands dirty" influence from my father (he is a mechanical engineer).

5. I appreciate every aspect of design, from the packaging to the end life of a product.

6. Compassion towards the environment through recycling, reducing, reusing and repurposing when possible.
