About the Founder

Stephon “PHONZZ” White is the mind behind FORTHEWHEN — a studio built on the belief that good ideas deserve care, context, and a little bit of edge. Raised on rhythm and raised by systems, he moves fluidly between design, culture, and conversation, always looking for what’s possible just beyond the obvious. Based in St. Louis, PHONZZ brings a lived-in perspective to every project — one that’s as much about intuition as it is intention. He doesn’t just make things look good. He makes them mean something.

If I am a cup maker, I’m interested in making the best cup I possibly can. My effort goes into that cup, not what people think about it.
