Taylor Nicole Samuel

(860) 319 - 4101

Focused on the intricacies of systems design.

Education in psychology and marketing with a passion for psychoacoustics.

Additional experience in promoting, assisting and directing.

Amended February 2025:

No longer accepting new clients without a referral.

All directors and productions deserve the opportunity to facilitate an environment where the artists are as comfortable as possible; Not only for the crew, but the audience. Exceeding expectations is my only goal.
