The Story of Taylor Rose

Taylor Rose grew up learning early that life could be both fragile and beautiful. Her dad traveled for work, but every time he returned, he brought butterflies — tiny symbols of transformation that would one day shape her art. She kept them, painted them, and eventually repurposed them into a piece that carried all the quiet love of childhood.

She became an artist long before she admitted she was one.
A creator who absorbs the world — its colors, its cruelty, its chaos — and turns it into something soft or punk or beautiful.

As she grew, she learned the world didn’t hand things out easily.
She had to fight for her space, her voice, her ideas.
People underestimated her, took advantage of her, talked over her, but she learned something crucial:

She could save herself.

That lesson built the fire that fuels everything she does now.

And then, somewhere between the late nights painting and the early mornings questioning where she fit in the world, a spark hit.

Around 2019–2020, when everything felt uncertain — the world paused, routines broke, and life forced everyone to look inward — Taylor looked at her creativity and decided it needed a home.
A brand.
A world she could build with her own hands.

That’s when XIVI was born.

Not from a business plan, not from pressure, but from instinct.
From wanting to create clothing that felt like stories, like moments captured in fabric, like energy you could wear.

XIVI started small — a vision, a moodboard, a few designs — but it carried her identity from the very beginning: thoughtful, elevated, intentional, and rooted in the belief that comfort and style could live together without pretending.

She didn’t just start a clothing line.
She built a world.

And even when she doubted herself, even when people didn’t understand the vision yet, she kept going — because she’d already learned the most important lesson:

No one was coming to save her.
But she didn’t need saving.
She was building.

And as Taylor grew into her role as a leader, she realized that every step she’d taken was a lesson she’d taught herself. She was self-made in the truest sense—not just in creativity and art, but in business itself.

She learned how to run a company from the ground up, how to navigate an industry that didn’t always make space for new voices, and how to turn mistakes into stepping stones. And in doing so, she discovered a new passion: helping other small business owners find their own path a little faster, a little easier.

She realized that her journey wasn’t just about building her own world. It was about lighting the way for others. She wanted to share what she’d learned, to offer small business consulting that could help other entrepreneurs skip a few of the hardest lessons and thrive on their own terms. Because for Taylor, success was never just about the destination. It was about making the journey a little brighter for everyone who followed.

And so, Taylor Rose’s story isn’t just about one chapter or one title. It’s about a life built on creativity, resilience, and the joy of lifting others up. From the girl who turned butterflies into art to the woman who turned her lessons into leadership, Taylor continues to write her story with every business she builds and every small business owner she helps along the way. This is the story of a girl who learned to save herself—and in doing so, found a way to help others find their own wings.
