About

Website PersonalPhil_01.png

My career began in design and visual communication, where I became fascinated by the ways people interpret information, construct meaning, and learn through experience. That curiosity eventually led me from graphic design and teaching into learning technologies, instructional design, and organizational innovation.

Today, I serve as Assistant Vice Provost for Learning Experience Design at Virginia Commonwealth University, where I lead initiatives focused on artificial intelligence, future-ready learning, digital transformation, and human-centered innovation. Throughout my career, I have remained guided by a simple belief: technology should expand human potential, not replace it.

Learning

Researching the science of learning. How people learn, adapt, and grow.

Design

Creating meaningful experiences that support engagement and application.

Leadership

Helping organizations navigate complexity and change while empowering teams.

AI
