About

I’m Phil Urso, a passionate, detail-oriented designer with 25 years of experience in graphic design, UX/UI, brand identity, and omni-channel marketing. I love turning complex problems into clear, compelling brand experiences, and I thrive in roles that combine creative exploration with practical execution. I feel at home behind a computer, a whiteboard, or a welding torch, and I enjoy getting my hands dirty making cool stuff with teams.

I’m always listening and leading with empathy, and I stay curious about current trends and technology. I graduated with honors from the Columbus College of Art & Design in 1999 with a BFA in Advertising Design & Marketing.
