PLC DESIGN

Bold visual identities for brands, products, and experiences.

  • Patrick is a true craftsman – he has a deep understanding of design and is able to elegantly bring new ideas to life. Patrick can take nebulous early thoughts and evolve them into tangible solutions, his broad experience in design (print, brand, product, illustration) enables him to reach for the right channel and solution each time. I've hired Patrick to help extend the Mozilla brand and brand system, bringing it to web and printed matter. He has also consulted for me at Stripe. He brings a fresh perspective to each project and is a great partner to have on a team.“

  • Patrick immediately understood what my book needed and executed a fantastic design on a very tight deadline. I know for a fact that Patrick's design helped drive book sales and continues to do so, and created an iconic cover that's really stood the test of time.“

  • I've had the absolute pleasure of working with Patrick over many years at multiple companies. I've always been deeply impressed by what he can create as well as how he comports himself. His hands-on graphic design chops are fantastic, and he's someone I know I can trust when dealing with difficult clients or thorny problems. He's a cultural force wherever he works and, in every place we've worked together, his good nature and can-do spirit is contagious; he makes others better. If you have the opportunity to work with Patrick, do it! I cannot recommend it enough.“

  • Patrick revamped my logo for my film production company as well as designed a series of incredible film posters for one of our releases. He was very thoughtful about our branding and delivered each project with style and finesse!“

  • I’ve had the privilege of working with Patrick across three different companies over the past 15 years, seeing him succeed both as a consultant and as an in-house design leader. I’ve watched him drive complex design initiatives for Fortune 100 giants and build brand identities from scratch for early-stage startups. No matter the context, Patrick puts his whole heart into his work – he is simply incapable of not caring. He has a surgical eye for detail without ever losing sight of the bigger picture. He’s like a benevolent warlock of branding—someone who can translate hazy values and abstract attributes into visuals that instantly make sense and tell a clear story. Don’t let the heavy metal aesthetic fool you: Patrick is warm, sharp, hilarious, and an absolute joy to partner with. And yes – he can play the hell out of a drum kit.“

  • Patrick was our principal graphic designer at the Asian Art Museum and a true pleasure to work with. He was creative, reliable, and deeply thoughtful about our brand and goals and pushed the team to be more organized and refined. His marketing design for the Phoenix Kingdoms exhibit was outstanding, turning a challenging project into a real success.“

  • Patrick developed a refreshed brand style that elevated the overall look and feel, introduced clear visual cohesion, and more accurately reflected the agency’s leadership, expertise, and experience. He identified and refined key existing visual elements, integrating them with thoughtfully developed new components to create a more elevated brand presence and enable a comprehensive refresh within a significantly shortened timeline. Patrick’s direct impact on the project stemmed from his ability to actively listen, clearly understand the agency’s goals, and translate those insights into effective, high-quality design solutions.“

    Lisa Goodfriend, Director of Marketing & Communications at Homefirst

  • Patrick proved to be a fantastic partner when I was creating my latest book. He developed a unique layout and it made the book shine. He contributed inspiring ideas and always had great solutions for workarounds and improvements. Patrick had a positive direct impact on this project, which would never have looked so good without his input and vision. I'd work with him again in a second.“
