“Phil never, ever presented me with anything that did not exceed my expectation. His ability to almost read my mind and design the architecture without me doing it has been a relief that allows me to attend to other aspects of a job or kick start projects that would otherwise be more difficult to attend to.” J. Michael Murphy, Principle, Wallace Murphy Boyington Architects “Phil has been able to grasp the critical issues, integrate them into an appropriate design vocabulary, and present the ideas such that people of diverse backgrounds understand and get excited about our proposals.’ Todd Sweet, Sweet/Sparkman Architects “His work allows people to see themselves as integral to the process rather than as passive observers.” Jerry Sparkman, Sweet/Sparkman Architects “Phil’s renderings are the finest example of effective communication with clients. As architects we strive to express the aesthetic nuances of our work—Phil’s renderings have always elevated the conversation and eloquently illustrated our intentions. Marvin Clawson FAIA, Clawson Architects “I cannot think of an instance when Phil’s drawings DID NOT have a strong positive impact. This has been invaluable when it came to fundraising and getting the community ‘on board’ with development ideas.” Michele Demperio, business development, Sweet/Sparkman Architects “It is a rare opportunity to work with someone that can engage in a thoughtful dialogue about preliminary ideas and the overall intended design direction. His ability to convey this in his final product, his interpolation from our rough sketches, and our conversation about pertinent issues is unrivaled.” Chad Greer, principal architect, AIA “Phil’s renderings have the warmth and personality that today’s renderings lack. His artful attention to detail resonates with clients and municipal boards, helping them see and understand spaces in ways they otherwise would not.” Mike DiGeronimo, AIA, Clawson Architects “Beyond the graphics, his contribution has positively influenced the way we take responsibility for our actions as architects and designers across a range of projects and at all scales. Working sessions with Phil creates the sense that our profession requires stewardship for what is here as well as certain responsibilities for the future.” Rob Norcross, principal, Looney Ricks Kiss Architects |
