I’m Phil Harkness, a senior creative who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. I like making things. Things that use media in an interesting way. Things that are crafted to within an inch of their timeline. Things that make you go hmm… and oh! and hahaha! I work in a team with Jack Wall and am gainfully employed by Special Group.
My other interests include cleaning up after my kids and making sure they don’t eat that.
