I got what YOU need

My Skillset

A square behind a rounded square behind a circle, to represent layers of branding

Brand Strategy

Communicate with your audience. Using four key prompts: What, How, Who and Why — We will discover the look, feel, and voice that best engages your customer base and prompts growth.

Print Design

Logos that gives you a good "gut feeling". Distinctive, appropriate, memorable, practical and simple in form. Together we will create designs that conveys your unique message and vibe.

UX Design

Learn the language of your end-user. In my UX design approach I dig deep into customer psychology to deliver improved customer satisfaction and loyalty through the usability, practicality, and satisfaction provided by a product

UI Design

Pretty is great, but practical is always preferred. My UI design is guided by a strong belief in UI as a problem-solving tool, as a way of recognizing and guiding movement, and for improving connections between people and products they use.

Genuine Experience

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. A decade of experience across fast-paced startups and 24/7 industries has provided me a dependable resilience. Calm in the face of crises, and agile in the pursuit of excellence

Adventure Management

Slaying a Dragon is a team effort. As a group lead I can tell you that; "getting four strangers to slay a dragon takes a lot of soft skills". Managing schedules, leading narratives, remaining agile, and pushing adventurers towards a common goal.

LET'S GET TO KNOW EACHOTHER

How much does a polar bear weigh?

Enough to break the ice!
Hello, I'm Phil. I like people, Norman doors, and watching humans...humaning.

Raised on adventure books and tabletop role-playing games. I found the cross road between a good story and great results all came down to careful design choices with people in mind. I'm fascinated with UX laws, graphic design, and human-behavioral studies. It is for the same reasons I love hard Science fiction. Not only imagining innovation but grounding it in a way where we can make it real!

Anytime where I'm not nose-deep into Dribble or Behance, you can expect to find me planning my wedding, baking brioche, and talking to that one dev whos always sitting alone in the corner (he's probably called Michael or David).

I can be contacted in French or English if there's anything you'd like to know more about!
