I’m Pete, an illustrator based in Norfolk, UK, with a background in songwriting, performance, and music production. While art-directing album covers, I rediscovered a deep passion for design and illustration—so much so that I went on to study a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design at the Cambridge School of Art.

I’m inspired by the bold creativity of New York’s Push Pin Studio and the charm of children’s book illustration. This has led me to develop a practice that spans traditional drawing, motion graphics, and a wide range of physical design.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with clients across the UK, including So What Magazine, Anglia Ruskin University, Ali Strippling, and Upturned Boats. My work has been exhibited at New Designers in London and The Ruskin Gallery in Cambridge, and I’m currently working on a children’s book alongside a variety of editorial projects.

As a proud member of the AOI (Association of Illustrators), I value being part of a vibrant creative community and bringing a professional, collaborative spirit to every project I take on.
