Hi, I’m Peter!

I'm an Industrial and Product Designer with a passion for giving form to concepts. I started studying Product Design in the fall of 2022 at the University of Minnesota, where I discovered a love of industrial design. I'm a proud member of the 2026 graduating class.


I like to say that I've always been a designer, I just didn't always know it. Since a young age I've been a maker, artist, and problem solver. Through my design courses I've developed skills in concept ideation, form development, rapid prototyping, and user experience.


At the University of Minnesota I was lucky enough to develop valuable connections with experienced designers and industry professionals who serve as adjunct faculty.


In 2025, I deepened these skills in a professional setting at Tennant Company, interning with their award-winning Industrial Design team. I proudly accepted the opportunity to rejoin the Tennant Industrial Design team after graduation in spring 2026.
