Senior🎓
Top SchoolTaylor Tabb is a creative technologist and educator with nine years of experience at the intersection of mechanical engineering, human-computer interaction, and design. Based in San Francisco, they co-founded SPAK!, a studio that prototypes ambitious interactive work, and teach design experimentation at Stanford’s d.school. Their background includes research on morphing matter at Carnegie Mellon, product-focused creative tech at Deeplocal, and applied futures work at Accenture, blending rigorous engineering with playful, hands-on making. Taylor also appeared on Netflix’s Baking Impossible, a sign of their penchant for edible engineering and public-facing storytelling. They hold BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon and are known for turning speculative ideas into tactile, surprising experiences. Non-obvious detail: they’re a strawberry fan, a small personal touch that hints at a playful, human-centered approach to design.
