Born in 1997, Taylor Hise grew up in Rapid City, South Dakota where he spent much of his childhood and teenage years exploring the outdoors, spending time with friends and family, and playing baseball. He has always had an eye for detail as well as a passion for art and design. It was in 2017 when he knew he wanted to make a career out of graphic design.

​

Taylor recently earned a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts with a major in Graphic Design from Black Hills State University, located in Spearfish, SD. He's stated that graduating with Magna Cum Laude honors is one of his biggest achievements in life, as he's dedicated countless hours to his work. When not working digitally, he enjoys creating physical pieces of artwork such as illustrations and paintings while exploring various mediums. Taylor also recently completed an internship with the Spearfish Sasquatch collegiate baseball team, where he found himself putting together both print and digital media pieces that communicated information with the fans and Spearfish locals. He has also worked on a handful of freelance projects for South Dakota Mines, Paul Mitchell the School, and Mac's Exterior Solutions, designing logos, graphic illustrations and business card layouts. 

​

The 2023 Gold Addy Award winner and 'Best of Show' recipient has set his sights on finding Graphic Design work throughout the United States. Taylor's long-term goals include curating an online art gallery where artists from around the world can showcase their art in a digital setting. After gaining professional experience, he hopes to become an art director and possibly start his own design company.
