Resume

My name is Phil. I’m a copywriter who was once an editor who was once a filmmaker who was once a house painter.


In 2023, I took a night class at Droga5 all about advertising and building a portfolio. That changed everything for me.

In 2024, I won 1st place in an advertising competition judged by Gerry Graf. We recorded a podcast together talking about that work here.

We do not need to record a podcast together. But I would love to talk with you and work with you.
