Terry A. Taylor - Owner / Designer
I started designing websites in 1997. When I was first introduced to the online world I was fascinated with it! My amazement led me to explore how it all worked so that I could have a website of my own. I bought my first domain back in 1998 and read books and tutorials and taught myself everything I needed to know through trial and error and page design after page design.
I opened Sassy Designs, Ltd. in May 2002. My main focus was website design and I designed numerous website templates which I sold through my website and also offered custom design services. With website design came the need for me to be able to design everything a business could possibly need. From logos and business cards to custom marketing materials.
As the years went by I started branching out and doing more and more print design - advertisements, brochures, postcards. I had the opportunity to be the layout and ad designer for a local tabloid publication devoted to dogs. I really enjoyed working on smaller projects, especially after having my son in 2006. When my oldest and dearest friend started her own photography business she hired me on the side to design custom business forms for her so she could get her brand in place. Then she asked for my design help in creating custom birth announcements for her clients. That is ultimately what got me started designing card templates. Card templates then led me to designing digital papers and design elements for use in creating templates.
I love the freedom of just being able to create! The website projects that were my first design specialty were time consuming and had standards to meet, and clients that of course had their input. I felt like my creativity was always restricted to a degree. Now that I've switched gears my creativity can just flow. I was nervous to make the leap but I must say it is one of the best decisions I ever made!
