Phil is looking for work in any of the areas he shows previous capability in, as well as any green projects that help the environment!

“Imagination is more important than knowledge,” once said Albert Einstein.

"You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you."

“What I am doing today surprises nobody more than myself”, claims Phil, a self-taught designer, engineer, and builder who has built an extraordinary career in conceiving and making things over the past three decades.

As a child in Chicago, Phil’s dad fomented his creative spirit in many ways. He would take him on many expeditions to explore the natural world. A trip to Nauvoo, IL to collect geodes, led to his first enterprise, cutting solid quartz-filled ones with his diamond saw into flat discs which he sold in sets to Marshall Field & Co., as coasters.

Since graduating from college with a degree in the liberal arts, and working in many different fields, Phil’s still trying to discover what it is he ultimately wants to do. He has always liked to push the envelope, working with the latest materials and techniques.

Over his career, Phil has worked for an extensive list of clients, all the while carefully juggling his artistic career. He seems to have unlimited, and untapped, stores of creative energy that carry him on in search of his ultimate epiphany.

Being able to come up, sui generis, with an elegant solution to a tough design problem in my architectural detail work, and getting recognition for it, has been a great kick, recently.

Phil always remains true to his artistic vision, carefully following his inner voice. His work is placed world-wide.

He is also a highly effective problem solver in many corporate, marketing communications, and architectural detail arenas. End products can be corporate identity statements that may include macro logo signage, exhibits, showbooths, models + sculptures, kinetic store fixtures, interactive touch-screen displays, video walls + video production, and scripted live presentations. Through his innovative work with architects, Phil is adept at working across many platforms, including, but not limited to, integrating murals, feature sculptures, macro imaging, building signage, light fixtures, railings, planters, reception desks, and many custom fixtures with architecture. Cross-application of materials, techniques, and practices is a great way of finding a fresh approach.

Inventing new, innovative products for fields including corporate media, medical, fitness, health, recreation, and education, and industrial is a current direction with great ideas and challenges! Working with entrepreneurs and like-minded creative thinkers.

Great at working within time and budget constraints. Looking for new, green challenges. Substantial global experience.
