Phil Hodges, Owner
Phil is that rare individual who brings a combination of creative talent, a solid understanding of UI/UX principles, the ability to work on any part of the creative-artwork-product production pipeline, and a personality well suited to collaboration with artists, product/project managers, and developers alike. He always brings his own thoughtful ideas to the table, while being gracious and responsive to feedback and other opinions (of which there is never any shortage!) I would not hesitate to recommend Phil for a position in the UI/UX/Creative part of any software development effort, and would be very happy to work with him again if the opportunity should arise.
–Chris Derossi, CTO at Ultimate Gaming
I had the pleasure of working with Phil while he was at Ciena. He was the UX Engineer for multiple software engineering product teams, in which he designed end to end user workflows in close collaboration with the engineers, end users, and stakeholders. From conducting user research and usability testing to crafting intricate workflows and producing polished mockups, his expertise was consistently evident. I always appreciated his methodical and structured approach to design - it always ensured that the workflows and UI elements he produced were cohesive, informational, and easy to use. If you’re looking for a top-tier UX Engineer Phil’s your guy - strongly recommend!
–Daniel Holz, Senior Manager, Software Engineering at Ciena
For five years at Ciena, I witnessed Phil's skill in designing UX for a varied user base – from the global sales team to executives – across our complex applications. His detailed and analytical approach consistently earned positive feedback. A valuable teammate, I highly recommend him for senior UX roles.
–Phillip Plummer, Software Engineer IV at Ciena
Phil is a talented and dedicated visual design professional, and I had the pleasure of working with him consistently and continuously on numerous projects at CyberArts/Ultimate Gaming. I found him to be consistently pro-active, thoughtful, and effective, thoroughly capable of developing creative solutions and assets within aggressive timetables.
–Greg Dessen, Product Leader: Privacy, Security & Compliance at Rakuten
I had the privilege of working with Phil Hodges a number of years ago, and I can say without hesitation that he’s one of the most talented and reliable music professionals I’ve worked with. Phil handled recording, mixing, and mastering the tracks for my band 7th Direction, and the process was seamless from start to finish. He communicates effectively, listens carefully to an artist’s vision, and uses his skills to bring that vision to life. What sets Phil apart is his ability to balance technical mastery with human connection. He can solve the toughest recording challenges, coach an artist through a performance, and always keep the final product clear, balanced, and alive. He doesn’t just “record” a band. He collaborates, helping them create the best version of their music.
