Hi, I'm Pete. I'm a freelance digital designer based in London.

Personal


  • Me!

    I'm passionate about what I do. I love to talk about it (I keep a blog). But when I'm not doing design things, I like to keep fit, play rugby, sail and all the other perks that come with living in Shoreditch (a cool pint on Hoxton square, wearing trendy hats, visiting galleries etc).
