A creative lift in every project

Hi, I’m Pete—a multidisciplinary illustrator, designer, and animator based in Plymouth, UK. I help brands, agencies, and businesses bring their ideas to life through playful, purposeful visual storytelling.

Whether you’re looking to boost your brand’s digital presence, revamp your identity, or create engaging campaigns, I bring a creative lift through:

  • Custom illustration that adds character and charm

  • Graphic design that communicates clearly and beautifully

  • Animation that captures attention and tells your story dynamically

With over 20 years of experience, my goal is to deliver bold, concept-driven visuals that connect, inspire, and leave a lasting impression.

Creative Values

  • Collaboration is key

    I prefer collaboration over “working for” clients. I value a shared journey… like two travellers road tripping and heading to the best creative solution together.

  • Ideas first solutions

    I’m an ideas based creative first and foremost. For me a strong, creative solution is supported by an equally mighty concept. It also makes for a more effective communication of a project's vision.

  • Creativity is worth spreading

    As a creative (and person) I have an enthusiastic, unquenched thirst for conceptual thinking, creative play and helping people through my solutions and services.

What they say!

  • "We love working collaboratively with Pete. His ability to match creative thinking and meaningful ideas with fun and energetic visuals is a huge reason why we come back again and again for his illustration and animation. Plus he's a cool, kind human. Supporting small businesses and local independent creatives is the best way to inject a unique perspective with added value and soul to ideas. His versatile skillset is a fab local resource we champion."

    Christina Wilkins / Brand Biscuit Studio

  • "I have worked with Pete on several jobs and I can truly say his skillset and professionalism really does elevate the project. I would recommend Pete on any project not just for his skillset (which speaks for itself), but his warm personality and great creative input. I never knew how much illustration and animation would help my business until actually working with him and I can truly say it is one of the best things having someone like Pete with my future projects."

    Tom Carder / Tom Carder Media

  • “Peter demonstrated great expertise working on packaging illustrations, and we trusted his interpretation of the brief, so the project went smoothly and efficiently without any ‘hand-holding’ from us. Top notch as a creative, an ideas man and just an all round bloody nice guy!”
