Ph·ē·l·ō is the creative output of designer Joe Phelan.
With a focus on printed environments and digital spaces, he explores how design can distill free-flowing concepts into seamless interactions, and compelling narratives that resonate as much as they inform.
Joe most recently worked on MythCloud, a Mythological Compendium website developed as part of Digital Mythologies, an EU-funded project led by Aalto University, Finland, in collaboration with IADT Dún Laoghaire, ASP Katowice, VAA Vilnius, and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp.
