What's the story, Philly Puddy?

Phil graduated with honors in Multimedia Design in 2009, and worked a slew of jobs that did not value creative work (ie: minimal compensation commensurate with the “starving artist” stereotype). Even at major professional design firms, he felt like the focus was more on meetings than actually doing work. In August of 2012, he quit Corporate America in a “glorious fashion” and never looked back. Thus, in 2012, Philly Puddy Designs was officially established.

Everywhere he had worked, they always tried to hook that “big fish” client that would make their bottom line grow into the stratosphere. This often left small companies and individuals struggling to keep up with those “big fish” companies that had everything catered towards them and their inflated marketing budgets. Since then, Philly Puddy Designs has maintained a pro small business mentality. We often work with struggling individuals and small businesses that require guidance and while on extremely limited budgets. He came up with the concept of “design layaway”, which many people struggling in this economy absolutely love. You see, we would rather work with a person or group of people passionate about what they do over the cold, corporate big money world any day. To us, seeing clients stand toe to toe with larger companies is more rewarding than a big pay day. That reward is knowing that we helps people and small businesses thrive when they thought they would have to close up shop for good. Philly Puddy Designs does business ethically and to the best of their ability while making it affordable for those who need to be seen in order to survive.

Since it’s launch in 2012, Philly Puddy Designs has helped 180+ small businesses and individuals achieve goals they never thought were within their reach.
