High-impact organisations need industry-standard design.
In order to build trust, speak with authority, and position yourself as a leader in the field, you must demonstrate that you operate at the industry standard.

What’s the problem?
At the moment, there is a large gap between the worlds of high-impact altruism and design. Most altruism orgs don’t know how to access high-quality design, or are concerned about working with clumsy agencies who don’t understand their field, instead relying on volunteers or research interns to create their design materials. Naturally, the results are often sub-par.
That’s where I can help.
I bridge the gap between the worlds of design and high-impact altruism by providing industry-standard design consulting services for Effective Altruism orgs, and by connecting my clients with my network of creative professionals in the space.
Why do EA organisations need design?
First impressions matter
First impressions set the tone for the rest of the relationship. The first time that somebody interacts with you is likely to be online – through your website, social media, or digital content – so it is important that these materials make a good impression.
Consistency is credibility
Creating change requires trust. The more consistent you are, the more your audience will trust your advice and regard you as an expert in your field. This is where your ‘brand’ plays a role. If you’re not sure whether you have a brand, or what your brand says about you, then you can contact me for a free Brand Audit.
Relationships from a distance
If you’re like most EA orgs, the people you need to communicate with are spread all over the world. If you cannot speak with them directly, your digital and print material will need to speak for you. Get it right and you can build a life-long relationship through your communications.
What services do you offer?
I have experience in a number of disciplines, which makes me useful for organisations who do not have an existing design team and need a one-stop-shop for creative services.
Projects tend to fall within three main areas:
Branding
Brand strategy
Visual identity
Style guides
Graphics
Print design
Infographics
Merchandise
Digital
Web design
Video production
Animation
FAQs
How much does it cost to work with you?
At the moment, my hourly rate is:
£100 /hr.
If you have a fixed-scope project I am happy to negotiate a fixed project cost, which can make the work easier to budget for.
If this falls outside of your price range, we may still be able to negotiate something that results in a win-win, so please do get in touch!
How long will it take to do a project together?
A design project can take as little as one day from kickoff to completion – though most projects will take:
3-6 weeks
If you would like to work with me on an ongoing basis, I can provide services on a monthly retainer (this tends to be cheaper for you, too).
What will the process look like?
In short, the process of a design project goes like this:
Discovery → Direction → Design → Delivery
You will hear everything you need to know about the process when we enter the ‘Discovery’ phase together. If you want an idea of what to expect, the process is designed to be straightforward, transparent, and effective.
Once the project has been completed, you will be equipped with industry-standard design materials to help you communicate with clarity and authority.
Hello – I’m Taylor.
I’ve been involved in Effective Altruism since late 2018, when I discovered it quite by chance on the internet. I was very excited about these ideas, and have since been involved as a volunteer for various EA conferences and projects, hosted several talks on the topic of EA, and worked on design projects with many EA organisations.
Now I’m on a mission to help the world’s most effective organisations to build an audience, establish trust and make an impact with high-quality Graphic Design.
Would you like to work on a project together?
Available for freelance work. Current wait time:
~1 month
If you are a high-impact organisation and would like to start a design project, I would love to hear from you!
