Skill enhances taste, developing skill gives you the experience needed to perceive nuances in design that other people wouldn't notice. But if you don't have taste in the first place I don't think developing skill will fix that.
I can't remember where I read it, but I recall hearing one time, "You need not know how to do something, just know how it should be right, making it will be simple because you will know when it's wrong"
It was in the context of I believe, creative work, people with good taste can produce good work by virtue of volume and discarding things that feel "off", regardless of initial skill
If you have good aesthetic sense but no skill, you can create good work. But not efficiently. You'll have a lot of false starts, trying things only to discover they don't work, retrying again and again until you find something that satisfies your sense of taste. Through this process you will develop skill.
Skill comes from experience. It means knowing what will or won't work before you do it, not having to make random stabs in the dark until you find something that works.
