Hey, Siri. Describe Taryn.

Okay. Taryn. Insightful. Expressive. Bold.

Likes acting, cinema, and Cornhole.

Dislikes arrogance, humorlessness, and tomatoes.

A respectful maverick.

01 — What am I about?

I'm a fun-loving, hyper-creative with a sharp intellect who loves to make people's lives easier. I find purpose in problem-solving and meaning in uplifting others.

02 — Why do I work in content?

Life's tough. Doing things on the internet should be easy.

Great content design or content marketing solves problems, provides clarity, and can help someone navigate challenging situations with more ease. I love being a part of that.

03 — What do others say about me?

Casey Willert (Director of Marketing Ops @ Corestream):

"Taryn is hard-working, a skilled communicator, and an outstanding content designer. She was a valuable asset to the team and played a significant role in driving our content to the next level."

04 — Why you should hire me

  • I'm unorthodox and I promise you that's a good thing.

  • I think creatively—like an artist—but my analytical capabilities are just as strong.

  • I think giving and receiving respectful feedback about our work makes us better individually and as a team.

  • I hold the big picture and fine details in my head at the same time and I always keep business objectives in mind.

  • I know how to prioritize and communicate prioritization.

  • I'm always learning something new.

  • Celebrating others is my super power.

05 — Why you should NOT hire me

  • You don't like to laugh and have fun while you work.

  • You don't particularly value creativity and innovative thinking.

  • You don't believe in a culture of open communication and collaboration.

  • You're looking for an order-follower, not a question-asker.

My work lessons learned

It should be you and your team against the problem, never against each other.

Creativity and craft need to work together to make magic happen.

Constructive feedback is a gift, not a curse.

People care when they're cared for. Care.

Always uphold your integrity.

Go where you are valued.

Like what you see? Take the next step.

In my career I thought 'I've never wanted to get anywhere in particular.' I just wanted to work with interesting people on interesting projects.
