about PHIL

Who am I? I am a 20-year veteran of the Digital and UI / UX Design world with experience and versatility across multiple mediums and platforms for clients ranging from small tech startups to corporate giants to live-service games. I have designed and directed successful creative campaigns and user experiences for clients such as Bungie, Microsoft, The Getty Center, Motorola, The Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI), IBM, Disney, ABC, Dell, Acer, The Huntington Library, HP and Intel.

For over 16 years, I was the acting Creative Director and UI/UX Design Lead at Red Card Studios – a local Seattle design agency I co-founded in 2001 – working hands on as well as managing teams of designers and developers to produce a wide variety of deliverables including end-to-end UI/UX designs (Sketch, Figma), responsive web products (HTML, JS, CSS, WordPress), mobile and tablet apps & games, animated motion graphics deliverables & product demos (Adobe Suite), social media advertising campaigns (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest), rich-media (Carousel advertising, Video, YouTube), print campaigns, and e-Learning modules (SCORM, LMS).

For over 5 years now, I have been a UI/UX Design Feature Lead and Senior UI/UX Technical Designer on the live-service game Destiny 2 for Bungie. Helping to design and ship features for Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, The Witch Queen, Lightfall, and The Final Shape.

I have experience at every stage of the design process from working through sketches and specs with the client, to concept and flow documents, to wireframes and prototypes, through to managing a team to shipping products and features.
