Marketing Communications Specialist
Peter has worn many hats through his 20+ years as a graphic designer and communicator. He’s been a marketer, an art director, a copywriter, a university lecturer, an illustrator, a sculptor, and a naval operations specialist, amongst a myriad of other character portrayals.
Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, he is often asked why he left paradise. The answer – he married a Canadian. Before settling for seasonal vitamin D deficiency, he earned a BFA in Graphic Design and an MA in Communications. He has used his education and experiences working for a variety of companies and organizations, from the Walt Disney company to small startups and everything in between.
Peter reads, watches, and games in the sci-fi / fantasy arena. Basically, he’s a huge nerd. In addition to his nerdy predilections, Peter enjoys creating things, whether it be fun illustrations, creating (attempting) new game ideas, to laser engraving and cutting custom wood art. When he’s not doing any of that stuff, he’s looking after his wife, two kids, a dog, and a cat.
