Biography
Hi there! My name is Phil, and I'm an Associate Creative Director with a passion for design, art direction, and technology. I began my career as a photographer, but a graphic design class changed everything. I found myself drawn to the world of design and art direction, and I never looked back.
After graduating, I was fortunate enough to intern for Shepard Fairey at BLK/MRKT, where I honed my skills and gained valuable experience. From there, I transitioned into the world of advertising, working on campaigns for major clients such as Toyota, Land Rover, Nissan, Infiniti, Scopley, and Walmart.
Today, I'm proud to be an Associate Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi in Los Angeles. I'm deeply involved in all aspects of the creative process, from traditional campaigns to cutting-edge digital and social media initiatives. For me, it's all about finding the perfect blend of technology, design, and creative thinking that makes something truly special.
I'm passionate about what I do, and I'm always looking for new and exciting ways to push the boundaries of creativity. Whether you're looking for help with a new campaign, or just want to chat about the latest trends in design and advertising, I'd love to hear from you. Let's create something amazing together!
