🍫 Hey all, I'm Peter • I'm an interaction designer with a strong background in visual design and branding.

Currently, I'm creating the future of AI-human multimodal interactions at Google. Previously, I was exploring the intersection of journalism and tech as a design lead at The Washington Post, and simplifying complex government processes for Accenture Federal.

Beyond my 9-5, I'm an experimental artist who loves dabbling in generative art, cinematography, and music.
