Taylor Phillips-Hungerford

Free Lance

I have been classically trained in the trade of design, from a very technical course at WIT in Boston to a very conceptual course at CSM in London. However, I was brought up on a vocational platform: construction to landscaping, from laying water pipes in early winter to changing fan belts in the dead of winter. My design aesthetic stems from the virtues of honest form follows function practiced by I. M. Pei and Dieter Rames and my day to day hands on vocational upbringing.
