Testimonials
"I've managed creatives for a long time, and among all the writers on my teams, Taffy has demonstrated the greatest adaptability and range. She can write about anything, and her ability to execute briefs with ease has empowered us to make some truly extraordinary content together. She is flawlessly on-time, asks important questions, and most importantly, writes with a freshness that makes her content anything but bland.
Taffy’s dedication to expertise, excellence, and reliability are enough to recommend her as a writer to any team; it's her precise and thoughtful attention to detail which makes her an exceptional collaborator. From crafting engaging blog posts about sometimes-dry topics, to producing meticulously researched think pieces, to simply being kind and joyful to work with, she has consistently exceeded my expectations. She would be a tremendous asset to any content project or team."

“Bringing Taffeta onto my project was an easy decision after hearing her read just a few lines. She embodied the spirit of my spooky municipal paranormal research department and brought life to my character in a way no one else could have. She was easy to collaborate with, bringing her own ideas and references to the character while also taking direction well. Most importantly Taffeta was a joy to work with through the entire process.”

“In her program Late with Taffeta V., Taffeta artfully blends storytelling and the type of intimate music programming most of us miss and look back fondly on. She has been a joy to work with and has become part of the KOPN family despite being based outside of Columbia, MO. Stations looking for quality, engaging programming or refreshing their station imaging with a new, yet strangely and immediately familiar voice should not overlook Taffeta.”

“The fastest quick change dresser in the west. Seriously! What an amazing, professional, sweet, and wonderful human. So thankful to have worked with her backstage for a number of years. Taffeta V. is the bees knees!!”

“In the world of burlesque, where your act is dependent on your costume and props fitting and working properly, Murphy’s Law holds that the most important piece of your costume will fail three minutes before you go onstage. Taffeta is the one you want at your side when that happens. Her breathtaking knowledge of costuming, her encyclopedic problem-solving acumen, coupled with her genuine care and concern for your being, turns potential disasters to relief and triumph.
Taffeta also possesses that uncanny ability to foresee a problem that might occur, and fixing it before it has a chance to rear its head. And because she has an artist soul, she will never let you go onstage unless you look and feel the best you can be. (I have also stalked her online to follow her beading and embellishment projects for the top performers in the business, and I am in awe of the superhuman talent for breathing beauty in life in her work.)
She also somehow creates a zone of calm, mindfulness, and good humor in the chaotic miasma that is backstage. All while looking stinking cute! If anything can fluster her, I don’t think it’s been invented yet. I wish Taffeta could be at every show, at every Festival.”

“Costumes discombobulate off your body during a live show, sometimes when they shouldn't. Taffeta V. is THE gal you want backstage. She'll get you onstage, on time & looking flawless. She's the MacGyver of stage craft.”
