Laurie Peters

Artist - Creative Director

London, United Kingdom
I've around 14 years experience as a digital lead designer / creative, in client side and agency side setups.
Over the years I've worked with large blue chip organisations like BP Castrol, Jaguar, Sony, BBC to more closely with well known figures in television and on the internet.
My core skill is as an artist although my education was in graphic design at Bristol University. I live in the south of England with my girlfriend and my two cats, Sid and Babs.
