Peter Hester

Designer, Illustrator

Watsonville, CA, USA
I have been a working art director, graphic designer, illustrator and animator for more than 25 years now. Over the years I have worked on every kind of project I can think of from logo design, digital projects, video, packaging, trade show booths and in-store signage. The common thread is telling a story that connects us to the brand, event or product.
