Phillip’s approach to my company’s brand design was both methodical and eye-opening. He asked penetrating questions that got to the heart of my business and long-term vision for the company. It felt like I had a creative partner who was helping me articulate what I was trying to communicate through my brand. The end result was beyond my expectations and a testament to Phillip’s passion for his work.

I have turned to Phillip for his expertise and professionalism at two separate organizations. His creativity, professionalism and understanding of the target audience makes him a master at crafting the ‘look and feel’ for an organization’s brand. His skills go beyond design, photos, video — he is a communicator of emotions through images and design. He ‘gets it.’ You’d be foolish not to bring him into your organization.

I have had the privilege of working with Phillip on several projects, including our most recent annual report. His attention to detail, creativity and patience are what set him apart as a designer. His commitment, diligence and understanding of our brand has always ensured that end results are well above expectations.

I wholeheartedly recommend Phillip for any organization’s graphic design-related needs. In addition to being easy to work with and an all-around nice guy, he has a keen eye for consistency and attention to detail. The client’s needs are always put front and centre, and through his deep knowledge of traditional and new media, he avoids surprises. When we worked together at Liberal Party of Canada, Phillip single-handedly delivered incredibly complex projects—from branding entire national conventions to ‘wrapping’ aircraft and buses. His work speaks for itself, but his true value lies in his ability to work with clients to ensure everyone’s goals are met with minimal ripples.

I’ve worked with Phillip on many projects since 2013, and most notably during my 2015 election campaign for member of the legislative assembly for Kam Lake here in the NWT. Phillip delivered a sleek, dynamic and modern look and feel to my campaign that helped give me a competitive edge in appealing to voters who were tired of the status quo.
Phillip was very responsive to the needs of a political campaign, which often required new designs on short notice, and was able to deliver on time and on budget in all cases. This work is perhaps more commendable given that Phillip lives and works in Ottawa, nearly 5000 kilometres away from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
