A little about me
Hello, I'm Peter a passionate designer who is intrigued with how society works, and wants to focus on solving wicked problems with 3 years of industrial design practice and newly embarking on my UX/UI journey.
I was born in Sydney, but raised around the world, 4 years in London, 2 years in Singapore, 2 years in Sydney, and 11 years in Hong Kong.
Having grown up with a unique appreciation of the world as a halfie, and traveling so frequently, has given me a deep interest in culture and curiosity about all aspects of life and the world.
It wasn't until I started my degree in industrial design at Monash University that my passion for design thinking and true curiosity bloomed.
After finishing my degree with honours in November 2017 I was nominated for the Graduate of the Year Award (GOTYA Award) and was scouted to present my honours project in the 2018 Dubai Design Week.
In my time leading up to the Dubai Design Week I worked two internships, one in Melbourne with Canya Coin, a startup crypto currency, and one with Michael Young Studios, a industrial design consultancy based out of Hong Kong.
After returning to Australia I started work as a drafts person to gain a better understanding of the manufacturing process and after 2 years there I decided to learn UX/UI Design with Academy XI. Now I am seeking exciting new opportunities in the UX/UI space.
