Hello!

I’m Phil — the founder and creative behind Pixel Plus Solutions.

My passion for design started long before I ever opened design software. As a kid, I spent hours doodling geometric shapes on grid paper — fascinated by symmetry, balance, and how simple forms could create something meaningful. Fast forward to today, and I still sketch ideas on grid paper when developing logos and concepts. It’s a habit that’s stayed with me throughout my creative journey.

That early curiosity evolved into something bigger during high school, when I truly became aware of design in the world around me. I found myself questioning everything — Why did they use that font? Why that colour? Why that shape? That instinct to analyze and understand design from a deeper perspective is what set me on the path I’m on today.

I began working in my family’s print business as a teenager, learning the craft firsthand from old-school printers and running offset litho presses. That hands-on foundation gave me a deep respect for both design and production — and taught me how important it is to create visuals that don’t just look good, but translate flawlessly into print.

Over the last 20+ years, I’ve built a career that bridges creative design and practical production. I founded Pixel Plus Solutions in 2011 to help businesses create clean, bold, and consistent branding across digital and physical mediums. I specialize in logo design, brand identity, packaging, signage, and print media, combining creative strategy with real-world application.

In addition to my studio work, I manage the production department at DGN Marketing Services Ltd, overseeing print equipment, bindery, prepress, and packaging for clients across the GTA and internationally. This unique combination of creative and technical expertise allows me to offer clients a true end-to-end solution.

I work closely with every client to ensure their vision, budget, and timelines are met — with attention to detail and client satisfaction always at the core of my process.

Outside of work, I’m a proud new father to twin girls and enjoy music, golf, fitness, movies, and live shows.

Let’s bring your vision to life — thoughtfully, creatively, and one pixel at a time.

Mission Statement

Pixel Plus Solutions exists to elevate overlooked brands and help them communicate with clarity. I act as the bridge between my clients and their audiences, translating half-formed ideas into design that feels intentional, functional, and honest. My mission is to guide clients through the creative process with calm expertise, thoughtful problem-solving, and a focus on solutions that truly work.

Values

Every project starts by cutting through the fog. When the message is clear, the design can stand tall.

Clarity before creativity

Honest communication

Straight answers, real expectations, no guesswork. Clients should always know where things stand.

Good work takes focus. I believe in designing with purpose instead of sprinting toward the fastest option.

Thoughtful design, not rushed design

Pretty graphics are easy. Effective design is earned. I aim for visuals that solve real problems and move people to act.

Solutions that make sense

Respect for timelines

Deadlines aren’t suggestions. They build trust, and trust is the backbone of long-term partnerships.
