INSIGHT

Phil Gardner

Consultant Designer. Strategic Thinker. Trusted Partner.

For over 30 years I've worked at the intersection of light, architecture and human perception.

Having studied degrees in Education, Business and Masters in Architecture and Light, I have had the privilege to work and train professionals in some 23 countries and had my work translated to Norwegian and Japanese.

I became fascinated how we humans respond to the environments we see and this led me to studies in perception, spatial thinking and treating those very elements as "teachable" skills, uItimately making them usable to predict atmosphere at a design stage.

THE REAL BREAKTHROUGH

Design and technical expertise will only take a team so far without the ability to communicate clearly and bring others with you, progress is limited

The unique Shaping Perception System™

I ran more consultancy courses and interventions in a wider business sector creating coaching, leadership and team development skills within Government and large private companies and then returned to add the skills of advanced design thinking and abilities to share that vision, bring others to see and believe in your goals and we have a unique range of courses we can tailor for your organisations.

MY APPROACH

Design is not the problem
Alignment is

A language of light reveals how people see, feel and decide.
Listening turns insight into understanding.
Storytelling brings others with you.
That's how intent becomes reality.
