Hey there, I'm Phil.
I currently live in the Bay Area. I'm the CEO and cofounder of Windward Labs, a creative agency. I'm also leading NODE, a nonprofit focused on digital art. I previously helped start Bright Moments, a digital art gallery that minted onchain artwork as part of a ten-city world tour from 2021-2024. We have a documentary about the project.
You can reach me at @philmohun or phil@philmohun.com.
