Hey, I’m Phil.
I build websites for a living — and I genuinely care about doing it well. When you work with Lorien, you work with me.

Columbus raised. Ohio rooted.
The story
I’ve worked on the web from a few different angles — agency campaigns that had to perform, and platform work at a scale most small teams never see.
I spent time at a large independent ad agency here in Central Ohio building sites and digital campaigns where the work actually had to perform. Before that, I was a web developer at Meta. That experience showed me how the internet works at massive scale — and how often smaller organizations get overlooked.
Now it’s just me.
I like it that way.
How I work with you
- Direct line to Phil. No layers of meetings, handoffs, or inflated retainers.
- Modern standards, sized for you. The same tools big teams use — applied to small businesses, churches, and nonprofits.
- Mission-aligned rates. Transparent pricing and nonprofit discounts — see nonprofit web design.

I grew up in Columbus. College in southern Ohio. My wife grew up there too. This is home — and I like building things that stick around. Web design across Central Ohio is where a lot of that work happens.
I’m not trying to build the next Silicon Valley unicorn. I’m trying to build solid, thoughtful websites for real people doing meaningful work.
A few organizations I’ve worked with.
Hope Presbyterian Church
Redesigned and rebuilt from Church Plant Media to a custom React site with Sanity — staff can tend sermons and events; the church owns the code.
The Lucky Duck Foundation
WordPress updates and content structure so staff could keep the mission site current without a developer on call.
Dragonfly Bookshop
Custom ordering workflow and event listings — fast on mobile, accessible, and theirs to keep.

If that sounds like what you need — we'll probably get along just fine.
Next step
Let’s talk about your project.
No obligation — just a real conversation with the person who would build your site.
