    Graphic design differentiates one product from another,

    shapes consumer perceptions, influences buying decisions

    and defines your visual landscape.

     

    It is too important to leave in the hands of just anyone.

  • the who

    Pheinixx founded Pencil in 2009 with the sole purpose of bringing cerebral design to lifestyle brands.

     

    As the daughter of a painter and fashion designer, Pheinixx grew up with a pencil or camera in her hand at all times. She studied design and advertising where she won awards for media, copy writing and graphic design. Pheinixx was also one of the finalists in Marketing Magazine’s Creative Face Off of 2009.

     

    Pheinixx has lectured for the North American Design Exchange, and currently teaches both graphic design and branding for the Academy of Design, as well as being a frequent guest speaker to both students and professionals.
