Lee Phillips, Creative Direction
Lee’s creative leadership is as reliable and vibrant as the design solutions he creates.
His background in Psychology, Math and Architecture at the University of Utah is rooted in his basic design sensibilities; “Less is more,” “Keep it simple,” and “What the hell are they really trying to say?” Before completing a Master’s degree in Architecture, he chose to apply the skills he learned as an architectural draftsman to become a traditionally-trained graphic designer. (It just sounded like more fun!) He left design studios in Los Angeles and Sacramento to open under his own name and formed Phillips Design in 1983. Lee’s 25 years of experience, along with his creativity and pragmatism, are prized by our clients.
Lee is really into cycling and skiing. He picked a college based on its proximity to a ski slope (20 minutes!). More recently he crashed a dogsled on a glacier and thought he broke his shoulder. He has jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. He is also a proud “Burner” and actively concepting a Mutant Vehicle.
Jill Chan, Marketing Consultation
Jill’s care for people and projects brings common sense to every part of our process.
She has an MBA in Marketing and, after completing her thesis on Branding at CSU Sacramento, worked in the corporate environment as Project and Marketing Manager until joining Phillips Design. Over the last 17 years, she has cultivated relationships with clients and managed projects across nearly every spectrum, ensuring that each solution is targeted powerfully and efficiently. Jill is also a conference speaker on marketing and our keeper of all things peaceful. Clients love Jill because she’s honest, tirelessly patient, and an enduring advocate for common sense.
Jill is currently raising two beautiful teenage daughters and she has her hands full. She still finds time to squeeze in the occasional half marathon and teach BSF.
