It is important to instill in young graphic designers a sense of partnership and collaboration. I try to look at the class as a group think-tank that inspires and reinforces solid design direction. Having a finished project that one can feel substantial ownership of, without being the sole contributor to, mimics real-life working relationships with clients, creative directors and other partners.

Phil was appointed to his position after three years as a full-time MIAD instructor. He studied graphic design at UW-Milwaukee and UW-Eau Claire and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from UWEC in advertising design.

Phil’s area of focus is corporate identity and environmental graphic design. He spent over 20 years working in-house as a creative director for some of Milwaukee's best-known businesses: Firstar Bank, Miller Brewing and Carson Pirie Scott & Co. He also worked recently as brand identity director for Thiel Design. Phil has worked on the development of many award-winning advertising projects across all types of media. He also continues to do freelance design work and paints Northwoods oil landscapes on commission. He is a member of AIGA and United Adworkers.

Phil resides with his wife Sue in Greendale, Wisconsin, along with their daughters, Jessie and Lauren.

MIAD Matters
MIAD has helped lead the revitalization of Milwaukee's Third Ward.  More than 70 design firms and art galleries now call the Third Ward home, most with MIAD ties. MIAD has also been instrumental in efforts to extend the Riverwalk throughout the Third Ward neighborhood.
