I was born in Summit, New Jersey but spent most of my life living in Utah. I am fortunate to have been raised by incredibly loving and supportive parents. I was raised Mormon and served a 2 year mission at 19 years of age in Malaysia & Borneo. I left this church shortly after serving a mission.

I received a Bachelor of Science from Weber State University and went on to build a career in software. I was married at age 23, had 2 wonderful kids (boy & girl) and divorced after 7 years.

In 2011, my life was forever changed by a boating accident that left me with life-threatening injuries. I was life-flighted, placed in a medical coma, and the surgeon who operated on me gave a one-in-a-million chance of survival. This traumatic event caused me to reevaluate my beliefs about life and spirituality, and I began exploring daily practices of meditation and yoga.

In the ensuing years, I went deeper. I trained in Transcendental Meditation and sat many meditation retreats. I became a certified yoga teacher, though I never taught a single class—the training was for my own practice. I plunged into spiritual retreats, shamanic gatherings, and more than 100 ayahuasca ceremonies, fervently exploring consciousness. I was in training to become a Byron Katie facilitator when Human Design came into my life.

When I began exploring Human Design, it consumed me. Ra Uru Hu's insights into projectors and my design themes resonated deeply, leaving me feeling truly understood. Captivated, I spent nearly a year secluded, voraciously studying and absorbing every piece of Human Design knowledge I could find. My friends and some family grew worried, convinced I'd lost my mind—and they weren't entirely wrong.

I realized that truly understanding the Human Design System demanded living it. I dedicated countless hours to studying, experimenting, and deepening my grasp of the system. Seeking guidance, I connected with a mentor in Cairo, Egypt, who supported me through my deconditioning process. Over time, Human Design became second nature; I no longer think about waiting—strategy and authority are simply how I live.

As I applied the principles of Human Design to my life, I achieved a success that is not quantifiable and realized the importance of living in alignment with my Design. As a 5/1 emotional projector born on the Left Angle Cross of Defiance, I embraced my strategy and authority, defying societal norms and creating a new foundation for my life.

Researching Human Design is captivating, like mastering a new language, but it is futile if not applied. This knowledge is meant to be lived, not just studied. From my first encounter with Human Design, I realized that understanding it is one thing, but embodying it is another. Living my strategy and authority showed me that when we align to our true frequency, we are aligned with all of nature and the world around us.

I've completed professional training in Living Your Design, Rave ABC, Rave Cartography, LYD Guide/Teacher Training, PTL1, Radical Transformation, The Art of Seeing, and various other Human Design courses. However, I consider myself a self-learner, constantly exploring the system to deepen my understanding and enhance my ability to guide others.

When the time felt right, I left my software career and moved to Costa Rica. In that slower rhythm of life, Human Design became a passion project—something I live and share purely from love, not obligation. Today I'm home in Austin, Texas, building a company with my son. The invitations keep coming, and I keep following them.

I keep this website alive, though I no longer promote it, and I don't teach courses anymore. My attention is focused on other areas of life now. But Human Design remains woven through everything, and these pages stay up for whoever is meant to find them. If something here helps you see your own design more clearly, it has served its purpose.

With Love, Philip.
