To Philip, great design is universal. Co-Director of Sasaki’s New York studio, Philip is responsible for realizing projects that range from pop-up parklets and plazas to large-scale urban parks and waterfronts. Working across scales, he has a depth of experience leading large, multidisciplinary teams.

With a passion for well crafted and inclusive design, Philip’s human-centric approach focuses on the experiential qualities of landscapes. Integrating art, resiliency, and ecology, he is a systems thinker that navigates the complex demands on our public realm with nuance. Philip’s dedication to a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach is at the core of his practice; he encourages open dialogue that promotes exploration and innovation at every stage of the design process.

His role has spanned early development planning and approvals through to implementation, and he uses his expertise in the realization of public spaces to guide public and private clients through the complexities of today’s built projects.

Prior to Sasaki, Philip practiced for several years in London, working on large scale landscape planning and green infrastructure projects. He holds a postgraduate diploma and a bachelor of arts in landscape architecture from Leeds Beckett University.
