My Mission
BUILDING CREATIVE CAPACITY
I have a passion for design and how it can help create compelling, sustainable experiences in people’s lives. I believe everyone can support ongoing, meaningful, and positive transformations of great businesses. With expertise in using Human-Centered Design, I focus on unlocking creativity in people and letting them participate in shaping the world around them.
How might I be of help
BUILDING, ORGANIZING, AND EMPOWERING CREATIVE TEAMS
I've led teams, I've scaled teams, I've seen the impact growth has on creative cultures, and I've learned a thing or two about how to navigate the unique challenges and opportunities in such environments. I believe there are multiple versions of each one of us, and I have had the fortune to work with some of the most talented people in the world, helping them bring all of themselves to work, and leverage who they uniquely are in that context.
VISION, STRATEGY, AND HUMAN-CENTERED DESIGN
When working on complex systems and engaging with multiple organizations, the power of a well-articulated vision is invaluable. A properly defined strategy helps us ask the right questions, test potential opportunities and futures, and gives us the framework to make informed decisions in pursuit of desired goals. Design is the enabling capability that lets us articulate and test potential futures without having to fully bake the final outcome.
CREATIVE LEADERSHIP, ALIGNMENT, AND INSPIRING EXECUTIVE LEADERS
The strength of teams that collaborate well is that the joined effort exceeds anything any individual could possibly accomplish on their own. Making sure synergies between contributors take place, that all ideas have a fair chance to be heard, and that teams and leaders feel inspired to act, is what true creative leadership is about.
"Philipp’s excellence as a design leader is hugely enhanced by his innate ability to synthesize both rational and emotional requirements into a holistic design strategy. Philipp is a guy who spends as much time inventing new business strategies as he does relentlessly pursuing the elimination of unnecessary details to achieve an elegant result... Importantly, Philipp’s impact on the Studio went beyond his direct contributions to the business to include his significant influence on building a culture of excellence and respect that made the office both highly productive and a rewarding environment in which to work.”
