ABOUT PHIL

I'm a game designer, art director, and illustrator based in Cedar Park, TX. For the past decade-plus I've been building games and game systems for casino, social, and loyalty platforms, and I've worked on shipped more titles than I can count without opening a spreadsheet.

What I actually do is own the whole thing. Concept through release. Design docs, mechanics, state flows, wireframes, symbol art, animation, UI, sound. I've run studios with a team of many and run studios as a team of one. Both work fine. What I care about is whether the thing we're making is actually good.

My independent practice runs under Bombpop13. Bold visual identity, character-driven illustration, brand systems, posters, apparel. Same conviction, different context. Punk discipline isn't a personality trait. It's how you ship.

I'm looking for remote creative work where the process respects the people doing it. If that sounds like your shop, let's talk.
