Olivia Taylor
10 years of experience
Web designer with 10 years in practical layout, responsive design, and the everyday decisions that make a site work on real screens.
About
Olivia has worked as a web designer for 10 years, focused on the practical craft of laying out real websites. She is less interested in showpiece animations than in whether a layout works on a mid-range phone, whether the typography stays readable, and whether the visual hierarchy survives the transition from a wide desktop to a narrow screen.
On the review team she is the reviewer who checks how a template behaves across breakpoints from a design standpoint. She resizes, she reads, and she looks for the layout decisions that fall apart on the devices most visitors actually use. Her scores favor templates that are designed to be lived in, not just screenshotted.

What they look for
Olivia looks for layouts that hold up across breakpoints, readable typography, and hierarchy that survives on small screens. She marks down designs that only look right in a desktop screenshot.
Role in the scoring process
As one of the six design reviewers, this reviewer scores the design of every template independently. Those six independent design scores are averaged into the published Design Score.
The published Overall Score is the average of the Design Score and the Dev Score. Read more on the scoring methodology page.
