Philip’s story began with a modest upbringing in Central Los Angeles. His father was a hard-working small business owner, who overcame a number of barriers to find funding to start a small business in South Central Los Angeles. His mother was a special education teacher and dedicated her life to students and athletes through the California Special Olympics.
At just 12 years old, his life in Central Los Angeles took a turn. A solo flight to Scandinavia changed everything, opening his eyes to the possibilities of a life that transcends borders. This formative experience ignited a lifelong love for travel, culture, and connection.
Collaborating with brands to expand style and markets through storytelling.
Showcasing scents that capture emotion, memory, and spark imagination.
Global travel and exploration to foster impact and human connection.
Philip’s mother and father always made sure to be well-dressed despite their modest means. They understood the importance of making a good first impression. His mother introduced him to the world of fragrance. He sat in wonder, looking at all of the perfume the Avon lady would display on the dining room table during her monthly visit.
Today, he channels all of this passion into partnerships with fashion and fragrance brands, helping them connect with audiences through authenticity, creativity, and a global perspective.
Philip has worked with teams of hundreds of people, across cultures, countries and backgrounds to align on goals and achieve big things. He has learned what it takes to connect the disconnected, helping people see, hear, value, and appreciate and understand the other, across city, county, state and even country lines.
Through his collaborations and storytelling, he opens doors to opportunity.
