Bio
Dhiraj Mukherjee
Philippa is a fantastic creative professional, and it has been a great pleasure to work with her at Viant and since then as well. Philippa is artistically gifted, amazingly quick in producing high-quality work, pragmatic in her approach (always on brief) and a consummate professional. I have both enjoyed working with her and been a customer on many occasions since, and will no doubt be in the future....

Cannes Lions is one of the most imaginative and inspiring events within the advertising industry. Having to present your brand there is one of the hardest challenges ever as it’s the one place to see creativity at its best. With Philippa’s help this became the most fun and interesting part of the job. She not only listens and understands your ideas but at the same time she helps you visualise and understand how all the pieces of a huge project might fit together. Undoubtedly, her designing skills are top class and her ideas are amazingly original and to the point. She can easily adapt to unexpected changes and has saved us from many disasters, always giving 100% with flawless results. Working under pressure is her second nature and the confidence and reliability you get from her is priceless. Philippa has been a great asset and help, her work has always been creative, original and of great quality and I would unhesitatingly recommend her.
