In my own words
— Peter<p>I am an industrial designer based in northeast Ohio.
My work has ranged from luxury yachts and performance naval crafts to industry-first snowboarding products, consumer packaging, and high-end, robotic juvenile products. With over nine years of experience in multiple industries, I promise to bring passion, insights, and a smile to any project and team.</p><p></p><p>Away from the office, I prioritize being an incredible father and husband to my family. In my free time, you will find me outside mountain biking, on the water, either swimming or boating, and snowboarding in the winter. I am highly motivated and passionate, hungry to learn, and ready to complete any challenge.</p>
