About

I’m Philip, a multidisciplinary Product Designer with roots in Industrial Design and a career shaping physical-digital experiences across automotive, mobility, and marine systems. I thrive at the intersection of hardware and UX—turning complex systems into clear, intuitive, and genuinely useful experiences.

Building on this foundation, I design thoughtful digital interfaces and connected product experiences that balance user needs, technical constraints, and long-term vision. I’m especially energized by emerging interaction technologies and the new possibilities they create.

I care deeply about collaboration, craft, and designing with intention—and I enjoy bringing diverse teams together to solve complex problems.

From Multidisciplinary Design to Product Experiences

How a decade of designing physical and digital systems informs the user-centered products I create today.

Human-Centered Design

My work on Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for heavy-duty trucks and marine controls taught me to design with empathy and ergonomics. Today, these principles guide how I craft intuitive, accessible, and enjoyable digital and connected product experiences.

Systems Thinking & Seamless Experiences

Designing autonomous vehicle lighting and future mobility concepts for Ford and Lincoln gave me experience integrating multiple touchpoints into cohesive, functional experiences. I now apply this systems approach to digital interfaces, creating consistency, usability, and delight across physical-digital ecosystems.

Collaborative Problem-Solving

Leading cross-functional teams across automotive, mobility, and marine projects, I translate user insights into actionable solutions while balancing technical constraints and business goals—skills that are central to my end-to-end product design process.

Research-Driven Design

Field studies, prototype testing, and user observation have been core to my process. I leverage research to identify real user needs, iterate solutions, and build meaningful experiences that bridge digital and physical interactions.
