Behind the ventures
Phil Gabranth.
Author, therapeutic bodyworker,
and maker of original things.
“A little too knowledgeable, slightly contrarian, and sometimes cantankerous.”
Phil founded Norse Panda to make and publish work across different forms. His writing, Etymological Tarot, and other projects share a taste for careful work and independent thinking.
