With a calm, genuine demeanor and an honest, trustworthy approach, Phil’s intuitive nature and light-hearted personality allow him to effortlessly guide clients through a seamless PKD design/build process. Cultivating long-term relationships with both clients and colleagues, Phil is an expert at spatial and functional design with his projects receiving numerous design awards and international recognition. Phil’s uncanny listening ability allows him to translate a client’s vision to a sketch on paper in the initial meeting. Remaining dedicated to exceeding his client expectations, Phil believes in a “never say no” design philosophy that encourages evolving the design throughout the design and construction process.  This philosophy allows for the perfection of a design aesthetic or function and with no additional change order fees to clients.

With a reach that extends nationally and internationally, Phil’s design projects can be found throughout the Southeast, Midwest, the Bahamas, and Ghana, West Africa.  Though well known for his modern and contemporary designs, Phil is passionate about all styles of architecture with previously designed homes ranging from Spanish-Mediterranean to French Country, West Indies to Colonial, and Contemporary.
