Taylor Barnes
Brand Narrative Designer for VCs & Venture Builders
I specialize in
“They like how I write.”
Background & Highlights
TL;DR: I'm the founder of White Stag, the private club and narrative design partner for VBs and VCs building and funding the next wave of disruptive consumer tech brands. On Hubble, I work 1:1 with these people--and the founders they're partnering with, of course--to establish narrative infrastructures within their startups. Because you really don't want to "good enough" your messaging, only to turn around in six months to retrofit a half-baked solution into a very expensive problem. A 1:1 call could include an investigation into your: + Narrative diagnostics + Messaging & tone of voice + Product & founder origin stories + Positioning, identity & strategy + Copywriting stewardship + Category creation Here's what you can expect on a call: + I study what you asked for (yes, I do my homework) + I prepare an audit document with insights/questions + We discuss your needs in-depth (do not be shy) + You walk away with actionable materials I believe beauty will save the world--brands, most of all. Will yours be next? // Kind words: “Taylor is an exceptional writer and strategist with a sharp ability to craft messaging that truly resonates. While working together on Absolute Rest's communication strategy, she consistently went above and beyond, delivering not only what was asked but also providing insights and solutions that elevated our entire approach. Her resourcefulness, organization, and ability to anticipate needs made her an indispensable part of the team. Taylor is a true asset to any project that values impactful and thoughtful communication and messaging.” — Josh R., CEO & Founder
