Phill Monson

Sr. Product Designer

I specialize in product, logo and branding design. I love clean, easy to use interfaces that surprise and delight users, and logos inspired by days of yore that never go out of style. When not running kids around or out in the great outdoors, I love nothing more than getting into the flow of designing great things. I take a very user-centered approach in my product designs and enjoy the journey of discovering.
