About
Phillip Colhouer with family

Hello,I'mPhillip.

Sort of in this order: I'm a husband / father / designer / brand chaperone / storyteller / kindness lobbyist and user of forward slashes.

My experience in design and creative leadership spans education, marketing, and community work. I have had the privilege of guiding multidisciplinary teams in shaping curriculum, building brands, and crafting digital campaigns that invite participation and help organizations flourish.

My work brings together art direction, visual storytelling, brand and web design, event production, and strategic thinking. In each project, I try to create work that draws people in, tells a meaningful story, and helps organizations share what matters most while staying true to who they are.
