Peter is a Berkeley native who grew up in a creative environment. His visual style has been heavily influenced by the punk rock graphics of the 70’s and 80’s.

During and after completing his studies, Peter worked at a broad range of agencies and design studios. While vacationing in L.A., Peter fell in love with the brash, esoteric designs created for the ’84 Olympics and decided to head west from New York. It was there in Los Angeles that Peter was able to branch out into fashion branding and marketing while working for Leon Max, Max Studio, Guess and JimmyZ. Eventually, Peter saw an opportunity to package his diverse background by creating his own visionary shop – BIRD.
For the past 25 years Peter has acted as the CEO and Executive Creative Director of BIRD, shaping it into the unique multi-disciplinary agency it has become. At BIRD, Peter has taken every project through a rigorous creative arc – from research to strategy, conceptualization to synthesis, and finally execution and presentation.
