About

Hello, my name is Taylor Hopkins and I’m a first-year university student, a content creator and forever a kid at heart. I hail from a mysterious Ontario city called Burlington, a place which it is completely acceptable to politely nod and pretend you’ve heard about. As you may have guessed from the prepositional conclusion of my previous sentence, I like to bend the rules sometimes.

I am fascinated by the world around me. I try to look for the magical aspects of the mundane, and weave them into the realms of my imagination. My interests include fashion, food and design. I like pouring my thoughts into words—even when they only agree to exit my consciousness in jumbled arrangements. I enjoy watching and clumsily dissecting television and movies, much to the chagrin of many of my friends.  I like to be surrounded with and swathed in all things vintage, while also reaping the benefits of the digital world. You could say I’m an old soul with a penchant for new technology.

I’m also one of those strange people that likes to geek out over compositional minutiae and watch the parts of award shows that recognize the crew rather than the cast. I hope to explore the creation and impact of all media, especially digital, as fully as possible. I’m thrilled to say that I think I’ve found my kinsfolk in Ryerson’s RTA Media Production program. Here’s to four years of being weird and wonderful together.
