With a deep-rooted passion for sustainability, ethical content creation, and artistic expression, Phill has dedicated his career to crafting eco-conscious products and digital experiences that reflect his values.
A Legacy in Entertainment & Hospitality
Phill’s journey began in the world of entertainment and hospitality, where he spent 15 years as the executive chef and co-star at the renowned Stage Door Theatre. His dynamic presence as an actor, singer, comedian, and host earned him the affectionate moniker “Fabulous Phill Stephens”, a name that became synonymous with creativity and charisma. Over the years, he shared the stage with Australian entertainment icons, including Jimmy Hannan, Mike Walsh, Jeanne Little, Lorraine Desmond and Marcia Hines.
Championing Eco-Conscious Entrepreneurship
Transitioning from the stage to entrepreneurship, Phill channeled his artistic flair into MI eCONFETTI, a boutique enterprise specialising in biodegradable, eco-friendly confetti made from native Australian leaves and flowers. His meticulous craftsmanship ensures that celebrations remain joyful while honouring the environment. MI eCONFETTI is proudly Australian-owned and operated, supporting local businesses and sustainability initiatives, including the Carbon Positive Australia Tree Planting Program.
Expanding his commitment to sustainability, Phill launched the MI eCONFETTI Gift Shop, featuring EarthKind Botanicals, a collection of eco-friendly skincare, wellness, and aromatherapy products designed to promote natural living and environmental responsibility. From handcrafted balms and tinctures to sustainable home fragrances, EarthKind Botanicals reflects Phill’s dedication to high-quality, organic solutions that are kind to both people and the planet.
Beyond MI eCONFETTI, Phill’s vision extends to MI Memories Souvenir Shop, a destination for eco-friendly, print-on-demand souvenirs that celebrate the beauty of Magnetic Island. His collection includes stylish unisex T-shirts, postcards, coffee mugs, landscape mouse pads, and soy wax candles, all designed with minimal environmental impact in mind. Through MI Memories, Phill ensures that visitors can take home a piece of Maggie while supporting sustainable production practices.
Preserving Magnetic Island’s Natural Beauty
Phill’s commitment to preserving Magnetic Island’s unique flora and fauna is evident in every project he undertakes. Whether capturing high-resolution wildlife photography for MI Memories, refining digital narratives for eco-conscious brands, or crafting handmade biodegradable confetti, his work is a testament to his dedication to artistry, sustainability, and mindful living.
