A maker at heart, Phil is Creative Canary’s “Big Bird.” After years in the design industry, working for a diverse list of marketing companies, both as a freelancer and staff member, he launched his own dedicated design agency with the aim of breathing fresh life into clients’ ideas.
Using his passion for all forms of visual communication, Phil began developing his skills at the age of 10, when he designed a website for the local vocal studio where he trained.
From there, he channelled both his talent and enthusiasm for design and upon leaving school, embarked on a journey as a creative entrepreneur. After studies in Multimedia and Network Communications, Phil began work as a freelancer offering graphic design and web design services in Perth’s southern suburbs, with the launch of CPM Designs. His client list grew rapidly and he joined forces with the local IT company, Accelerate Group, where he became the Senior Designer in their Accelerate Media division.
Two years later he became the Senior Designer at M2 Technology designing visual campaigns, websites and marketing materials for established and reputable brands such as Telstra, Harvey World Travel, Helloworld, P&N Bank and Pharmacy777. In 2015 Phil decided to take a leap of faith in his design abilities, inspired by his many satisfied customers and launched Creative Canary in Fremantle.
His first major client was Espresso Works for whom he produced all their digital, marketing and printing collateral. The company’s client base has since expanded significantly and today, with a team of creative experts, they successfully juggle an extensive range of design projects.
Phil has ensured Creative Canary has a community focus from the outset and regularly contributes to charities such as the PMH Foundation, World’s Greatest Shave, Movember for Men’s Health and more. Another important charity it supports is the Think Fragile X Foundation which raises money for sufferers of the Fragile X Syndrome; a genetic condition that causes intellectual disability, as well as behavioural and learning challenges in children.
As a long-time friend and collaborator of Phil’s, Anthony was the perfect choice to join the nest at Creative Canary as Phil’s right (and left) hand man. With a passion for design, problem solving and a focus on the latest and greatest in technology, he’s our resident lateral thinker and solution seeker.
If there is ever anything anyone needs on a website and it doesn’t seem possible, Anthony will dig deep into his website knowledge and pull out an amazing and innovative answer.
Growing up with a tech-savvy dad, Anthony learned the excitement of technology’s possibility early. As a youth he invested a great amount of time in designing logos, graphics and t-shirts.
Anthony took up studies in Multimedia and after completing his study, landed his first gig designing at FHE Hockey. Here he managed multiple brands and designed everything from logos, websites and uniforms to hockey sticks, sporting equipment and other apparel. In 2013 he was tapped on the shoulder by Select Sports and continued his passion for design, working with new brands.
In 2016 he launched his own freelance design business, Cheeky Pineapple, where his client list included FHE, VooDoo Hockey, Gryphon Hockey and Bristo Uniforms. During this time Anthony also worked on multiple projects with Creative Canary and was soon asked to bring his experience and creative talent to Creative Canary.
I always found Creative Canary to be very helpful and perfect for a novice tech operator like myself. They explained everything in easy to understand language and were extremely prompt with responding to emails and requests. I am very happy with the way my branding and website turned out and at how quickly they were able to get me up and running, I would highly recommend Phil and the team at Creative Canary.
Project3 started working with Creative Canary in 2016. Since then, the volume and quality of work produced has been outstanding. Designing and creating four event websites, event programs, and numerous design collateral elements for each of our many cultural and sporting events around WA. Phil and his team are an extremely talented, hardworking bunch who tackle every project with a positive can do attitude. Projects are always completed on time to a high, professional standard. With their endless creativity, Creative Canary will constantly strive to bring out the best in your business.
Had the absolute pleasure of working with Creative Canary. They designed all the branding and creative content for my business, Outback Eats and smashed it! Thank you Phil and team for making the process easy and efficient. My business wouldn’t be able to achieve what it has been without your expertise. 10/10 recommend to anyone needing a branding genius.

A friend recommended I get in touch with Creative Canary – and I am so glad that I did! Our partnership went well from the very first meeting, with the guys putting forward many promising ideas on branding, website format and graphic design. I came away full of confidence, and I was thrilled with the initial concept which quickly followed. Next came many hours of work for Anthony to put our vision into reality. Throughout our journey Creative Canary showed great patience and were not troubled in the slightest with my need to change tack (more than) a few times, corresponding effectively through frequent phone calls and emails. The team were adept both at developing original ideas, and at perfecting and implementing my own concepts. I have no hesitation in recommending Creative Canary to anyone seeking professional, creative and helpful advice in the areas of branding, website development and graphic design. Truly the A-team!
The whole team at Valve & Fitting Australia were thrilled to have Creative Canary on board to completely overhaul our business’s branding, online presence and signage. This re-brand was exactly what we needed to bring our brand into the 21st century – and just in time for the move to our new office. Phil provided us with a fantastic new logo, website, and updated all our business cards and marketing collateral. From our initial meeting, Phil has guided us every step of the way. He even suggested we change our name from Valve & Fitting Supply to Valve & Fitting Australia, which was an idea we were happy to take on board to further help establish our nation-wide presence. To Phil and the team at Creative Canary – thank you for helping us rejuvenate our business. Your creativity, enthusiasm and dedication has been a huge asset. What a way to celebrate our 20 years of business
We have always heard great things about Phil and his Creative Canary team, so when it came time to redesign our website and create some advertising material we knew they would be the agency to call. Immediately, from the very first phone call with Phil we could see the Creative Canary team were straight on to the job. The design, photos, content and actual physical quality of the pamphlets they produced for Luxe Ceramics were very impressive. We always get positive comments about them. The final website design reflected our business perfectly. Throughout the whole process Phil and Team Creative Canary were professional and efficient. They listened to what we wanted, but also advised us on what would work best for each application. We definitely recommend Creative Canary to anyone looking for a web agency that’s friendly, fun and super-skilled.
Phil has been working with Mondo Landscapes since he was 19 as our Web Developer and we wouldn’t consider talking to anyone else. It is wonderful to see him build Creative Canary into a successful company supported by a great team of creatives. Creative Canary has the ability to deliver a dynamic website, clean, powerful and easy for all to use. Creative Canary really understands the need for a web to be intuitive and fluid. Their ongoing support is outstanding! Plus we love the laughs and interaction we have had along the way. Phil is quick to pull me into line with a strong sense of humour and I really appreciate his guidance and whit. A very cool team to work with and so much fun.
After years of the leaving our existing website dormant, we were in desperate need of an overhaul. From our first phone call with Creative Canary, we felt completely understood. Phil and the team provided us with a demo that represented our business and core values. Our website makes it easy for potentially clients to understand our services and take a closer look into our facilities. Their support in having the right imagery and pages was extremely helpful. After their wonderful website work, Creative Canary also redesigned our company brochure and business cards so our marketing collateral tied in nicely with each other. I can’t thank Phil and the team enough, and would happily recommend them to anyone looking to bring their online presence to life.
A leading creative agency in Perth with a passionate belief that creativity and collaboration can deliver unrivalled success.
