I'm Taylor Buckley, founder of Golden Hour Collective, where I work with female founders and entrepreneurs to build their personal brands and create content that reflects who they are. Across industries, I help women uncover the trends shaping their work and turn them into stories worth telling.

I was born and raised in Muskoka, and have called Toronto home for over a decade. Growing up in a small town, community was everything. You knew the people at the post office, the people at the pharmacy, not as strangers but as neighbours. That sense of connection still shapes the way I work today, in a career built around bringing people together and building community.

My mother is one of my greatest sources of inspiration. She has always used her voice to champion the people and causes she believes in, and as I have grown more confident in my own path, I find myself carrying that same instinct forward, using my voice to help other women use theirs.

For me, beauty exists in every space you're willing to find it, and creating a beautiful environment is something I take seriously, whether that's a luxury hotel or my own living room. Scent is such an intentional part of that. It's a small, deliberate choice that shapes how a space feels the moment you walk into it, and that kind of thoughtfulness is exactly the energy I try to bring into everything I build.
