Tim C. – A Creative Force Behind PHX Visuals
Tim C. helps shape what travelers see every day at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. As a digital content officer in the Public Relations Division, Tim designs graphics for newsletters, web content, and signage. He keeps America’s Friendliest Airport® on brand and easy to navigate.
An avid photographer, Tim also captures images to support airport initiatives. Since joining Phoenix Sky Harbor in May 2023, he has brought 36 years of graphic design experience and a lifelong love of aviation inspired by his father, an Air Force pilot.
Tim thrives on variety. “I get to design at my desk, then walk the airport to take photos, attend meetings, and cover events. The variety means I never get bored.” One of his proudest achievements was creating the logo and visual identity for Phoenix Sky Harbor’s award-winning 90th anniversary campaign.
Tim’s work reflects commitment to clear, friendly communication that helps travelers move through PHX with confidence.
Jay "Bo" H. - User Technology Specialist
Since 1983, Jay "Bo" H. has played a vital role in keeping Phoenix Sky Harbor connected and running efficiently. As a User Technology Specialist, he manages a wide range of critical technology systems across the airport, including parking equipment, video surveillance and vehicle identification. The variety of systems he supports means each day brings a different work environment and challenge.
Over the past four decades, Bo has seen the airport transform in remarkable ways. He still recalls the beauty of Terminal 1 when it was open. There was a hotel on the property, a gas station where the FAA tower stands today, an elementary school where the current Facilities and Services building sits, and all rental cars were located at the terminals. He has watched runways extended, roads rerouted, terminals modernized, and entire facilities relocated to support nonstop growth.
Even with all the change, Bo says, “40-plus years has gone by fast.” He considers his airport peers a work family and says Phoenix Sky Harbor is the only place where he’s found such a warm work environment.
Bo’s travel advice: “Leave home early, slow down the pace and just relax.”
