Thanks to an adventurous and encouraging family, Peter was born in Kenya, grew up in the green hills of East Tennessee, and studied fine art, illustration, and industrial design in the US, France, and Poland.

Because of this, he cannot imagine a life without traveling, learning, and creating with others.

He strives to share his skills for making ideas visual, especially with those who work in healthcare, social enterprise, and radical innovation.

Since 2018, he has served as an adjunct professor at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, working with students on visual communication and presentation design in the multi-disciplinary Master of Science in Law program.

He collaborates frequently with old friends and new colleagues on innovation and collaborative design projects, worldwide.

More importantly, he feels blessed by fatherhood and will happily bounce on a trampoline when the opportunity presents itself.

* Often, people ask where our company name “Alphachimp” originated. It is a tongue-in-cheek play on the term “alpha chimp” initially used by the Dutch primatologist and ethologist Frans De Waal in his book Chimpanzee Politics: Power and Sex among Apes.
