Phil McCollam

I thought Phil was very interesting to say the least. His whole presentation and portfolio was very humor based. I liked is different approach to presenting to all of us. I felt like he was more personable and in trying to relate to each of us. He seemed very excited about everything he did and I like how he gave us tips on being a better designer. The thing that stuck with me the most was how he said we should keep other hobbies besides designing to keep us more well rounded. The only critique I had was how some of his slides were a little too unprofessional. I understand he was trying to be funny and stick out more, but I didn't get a very professional vibe from some of it.

I definitely appreciated how fresh his ideas and approaches were. I believe that he would add a great dynamic within the professors we already have in our department. He would bring new ideas and great insight to the students. I feel like he was confident in his work and his approaches and I'd like to see more of him.
