Why Phil?
“With a passion for design and a commitment to the highest quality experiences, Phil Amour was instrumental in bringing our startup from concept to market adoption in record time. As one of our founding team members at CueHit, Phil demonstrated a highly creative and intuitive sense of design - in all areas of our product and even our brand and marketing assets. He often developed design concepts from scratch and quickly learned a new demographic of users. Phil directly contributed to our rapid success and would be an asset to any team looking for the best in the field.”
Scott MacDonald
CEO & Cofounder of CueHit
“Our team at Littera has worked with Phil since we started the company. High quality work, delivered on time. He is a great collaborator and he has embedded into our team to help drive our Web presence. I highly recommend Phil for any Web development project that your organization is attempting.”
Ivan Casanova
Chief Revenue Officer of Littera Education
“Phil blew us away with his skill, professionalism, and his ability to make sense of our complex app requirements. His work has helped our developers work more efficiently, and we’re fortunate to have found such great talent for our project. Truly world class!”
Adam Roush
Co-founder & Chief Design Officer at Bryght Labs
“Phil was the first hire of Lightricks London branch. From the get go Phil was really impressive with the depth in which he analysed the target audience, usability and helped forming the product vision. Phil was able to quickly create innovative designs that facilitated a great user journey. It has been a pleasure working with Phil.”
Amit Shabtay
Former General Manager of Lightricks UK
“I had the pleasure of working with Phil during his time at Lightricks. During our time working together Phil proved to be extremely detail oriented, while also demonstrating a deep knowledge and understanding of both the technical requirement and limitations, as well as user needs.
During his time at Lightricks, Phil undertook building out our design system collaborating both with our infrastructure team to build out our components library, to work both visually and functionally across Lightricks numerous iOS product. While collecting requirements and feedback from all stakeholders and products to meet each teams specific needs and requests. Our products have never looked so polished and we owe it to his incredible efforts and attention to detail.”
Judah Guttmann
Former Product Manager at Facetune
“Phil is one of the most professional designers I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Always a deep thinker, extreme edge case detector and prototyping master. He’s helped tremendously in taking product design at Lightricks to the next level and I hope our paths cross again soon!”
Tal Moskovich
Former Product Design Lead at Lightricks
“Worked with Phil on an internal Design System that is used across multiple apps. Phil is a professional designer who is comfortable around code and is easy to work with. As an engineer I often find that working with Designers invokes challenges that arise from the different languages we speak, but with Phil it was a breeze, he knows to speak developer, he makes design guides in ways that are easy to implement in code and he provides mocks and prototypes for everything!”
Netai Benaim
iOS Developer at Lightricks
“Phil is a very talented designer and it was a pleasure working with him and managing him. He is very dedicated to keeping a high quality of work, both from a UX and a UI perspective. Phil is also very organized and knowledgable, always up to date and up to exploring new things. Last but not least, Phil did an amazing job working on Lightricks' Design System! So, go ahead and hire him :)”
Laure Scemama
Product Design Team Lead at Lightricks
“Phil is very driven to learn and improve in all aspects of his work. He actively listens, he is thoughtful, and he provides considered ideas. We hired him for UI specialty, but he gradually evolved into our go to person for all iOS, Android and Web UX design. He worked diligently on problems. He sat with our engineers and got things done. He has an eye for detail, and his work was of high quality. He was a key contributor. He also got along well with everyone.”
Arthur Holcombe
Former Managing Director of Snupps
“Pixel perfect and a year ahead of design trends is how I would describe Phil. I had the great honor of working with Phil on an iOS application for several months, during which he produced designs that followed Apple’s (yet to be announced) Human Interface design guidelines that I hadn’t even been aware of yet. Above all, I was impressed with Phil’s ability to be one of the strongest visual designers I’ve ever worked with, while simultaneously having a great intuitive knack for the UX as well. Phil would be a strong designer to have alongside you for any application requiring stunning interface design (particularly for all things Apple), and I strongly recommend working with him on your next project!”
Marc Krejci
VP of Innovation at venture.cc
“Phil was an excellent designer for my application SwiftDine. He not only was a joy to work with, he took the initiative to add certain things to my application that he thought was necessary. If anyone wants a clean, and polished app designed, he is your man. I would recommend him to anyone. He gets back to you in a timely manner when you have questions, and isn’t opposed to joining group discussions with your team. Worked on 60+ screens for me in about two and a half weeks. Very diligent work this man does.”
Tobie Azeez
Co-founder of SwiftDine
“Phil was responsive and thoughtful, and most importantly he was able to turn my idea into a great user experience.”
Brandon Alexander
Founder of Wait App
“Phil is a great designer with a great sense of esthetics! He helped to design the very first iPhone version of LocalUncle which was featured by Apple in the App Store right away. Phil's great and very easy to work with.”
Philip E. Reichen
Former Cofounder & CEO of Local Uncle
