Taryn is a filmmaker, painter, queer feminist, and exhausted mother with experience in costuming, theme park design, children’s theater, and education. She met her longtime collaborator Dan while working at Walt Disney Imagineering where they contributed to the Frozen Ever After attraction in Orlando. She earned a Themed Entertainment Award for her work on Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway (Orlando). Taryn and Dan are currently promoting their animated short, The Finger Wife (summer 2025).
She wrote and directed the short film Double Feature in 2019, inspired by her love of old screwball comedies and theaters that still project 35mm. Taryn is also a musician and painter, and her personal essay about being a queer Buddhist was published by Lion’s Roar in 2024 as a featured article for Pride Month. She was raised in Orange County, CA and now lives in Chicago, though her heart will always belong to Los Angeles.
