Jacy Elle Taylor’s love of fabrication emerged in high school, when she was assigned to build a 7 foot tank out of cardboard, egg cartons, and duct tape. She continued to explore every avenue of artistry, following her life long interest in filmmaking. While receiving a B.A. in Media Studies from Brigham Young University, she was able to find an intersection of studying film theories and building film props.
Realizing her education was unfinished, she searched for a graduate program with props as the focus. She found a home at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in the Design and Production department. She is certainly a graduate candidate in the Stage Properties Class of 2021.
Jacy thrives in creative and collaborative environments. She loves making anything that subverts expectations and enhances storytelling. Her love for set decorating influenced her graduate thesis project to decorate and photograph Walter Wick I Spy-style vignettes.
In her free time she loves photography, escape rooms, discussing wild film theories, and baking your favorite cookies.
