Instead of the dreaded “About Me” writing session, we wanted to make this a bit more playful, so, we’re introducing each other! A core part of who we are is a sense of creativity and play — and honestly writing these intro’s for each other was way more fun than writing it for ourselves!
We thought this would be fun and, honestly, we thought it would be easier than writing a bio for ourselves. But trying to describe your best friend in writing is, apparently, just as hard.
But without further ado, here’s a bit about us!
This is Tayler 🐂 The Treasure Hunter
Written by Alli Neri
Writing this bio for Tayler is so much harder than I thought it would be because she is so much more than these bullet points in front of me:
-
Manifestor in Human Design
-
Sun Taurus, Moon Gemini, Rising Scorpio
-
INTJ Meyers Briggs
-
Eldest daughter
In fact, those things barely even scratch the surface. But just for the hell of it, let’s start there.
Tayler is what we might call a perfect storm (in the best of ways). She’s got that Taurus groundedness + reliability mixed with that initiative-taking manifester energy. She’s calculated, she’s pragmatic, but she’s also one of the greatest dreamers I know. She’s stubborn (though we choose to see that as a superpower), yet so expansive.
The first thing you should know is that Tayler really is a super powerful manifestor (yes, that is a technical term). I believe it’s because she knows her worth, she knows what she wants, and most importantly, she’s not afraid to wait for the real thing.
Now, let’s talk about the raw creativity pouring out of this woman. It’s one of the coolest things about Tayler. Not just the creativity, but the ways that it comes out as well. From her expertly curated vintage jewelry (spoiler-alert: she’s the expert), to her mostly second-hand home style, to her doodles, photography, embroidery and patchwork. Seriously, she does it all! But it actually doesn’t stop there. She is the most DIY person I’ve ever met. If there’s a craft/skill out there to learn, she can do it.
It’s not all just for fun, either. Tayler went to school for Apparel Design & Merchandising. She’s worked as a blogger, a writer, a social media manager, an art director, a senior brand director (!!). She’s got this passionate distaste for fast-fashion, wants to upcycle as many pieces of clothing as she can, and is constantly finding the coolest pieces of furniture for free (or close to it). She’s got this whole thing about learning to love what you have, rather than always buying something new.
And the best part is that her patched up coveralls or patchwork curtains actually look better than anything you can buy on the internet. Because here’s the thing about Tayler: beauty + art have been fundamental to her being–her way of life–for as long as she can remember. She’s the person you see walking into the coffee shop who makes you do a double-take. It’s like, she is technically wearing the same clothes as you, but the way she curates them makes you think about your wardrobe in a whole new way.
This is Alli 🦀 The Woodland Shepherdes
Written by Tayler Worrell
Oh my gosh I don’t know where to start! You know that person in your life that whatever she touches can turn to gold? The person who can take the simplest of ingredients and make the best meal you’ve ever had? The person who's unapologetically living her life the way she wants to — in a way that motivates and inspires you to do the same for yourself? Alli is THAT woman.
Alli has a very bright aura and energy, and it’s not just noticed by me — but everyone, and every living being that crosses her path. There’s no animal she can’t befriend. No but really, she’s a shepherdess in the woods of the Pacific Northwest in a place that has a lot of darkness throughout the year — yet she shines her cancerian light everywhere she goes. She was born on the summer solstice, if that gives you any clue to her light — the MOST.
In addition to her bright goddess energy, she’s also freaking smart. A lifelong learner. From ancestral healing, to where the heck eels come from(?), to minerals and the foundational biology of our bodies. And what’s so rad about it all is that she’s able to relay these bits of knowledge that inspire you to look into these things yourself.
Did I mention she’s a writer?! Alli got me to read my first fantasy book ever and guess what? SHE WROTE IT. I barreled through that book like it was the best book I’ve ever read. She even started a business all about bringing together fantasy lovers. She literally created a very successful business already based on something she loves. And that’s something not everyone has - the ability to love something so much AND be able to relay that passion to inspire the world around her. She has that kind of effect on people.
She’s a creator, she’s a generator, but maybe a more accurate description would be she’s got the brain of an architect, the soul of baba yaga, and the aura of the longest day of the year. One moment you’ll be laughing your ass off, pretending to be a sardine in the ocean, the next you’ll be creating a business with her inspired by that. (True story, more on that later).
