About

I’m Philip, a Product Designer with 10+ years turning complex systems into simple, intuitive digital and physical experiences. I focus on moments of uncertainty, helping people make confident decisions through research‑driven interaction design, systems thinking, and rapid prototyping.

I’ve designed vehicle Human‑Machine Interfaces (HMI) for Volvo Group, Ford, and Mercury Marine in industrial and experience design contexts, and recently strengthened my digital practice with independent end‑to‑end case studies for Warby Parker, Rivian, and Blue Bottle in real brand contexts. I collaborate across product, engineering, and design to validate solutions, reduce friction, and ship measurable features.
