Terry Peterson
By training I am a chemist and spent 26 years in industry, through product development to sales and marketing. Since the early 90’s have been involved in “quality”, in one way or another, as consultant or assessor.

Nearly 30 years experience and passion for creating credible, visual identities for my customers.

There are plenty of other “graphic designers” but there is only one Steve Pitt. Living in my ‘graphic design world’ for over a quarter of a century. But looking and learning for much longer... my natural ability has been nurtured from an early age, an appreciation of light, dark and composition. My natural skills have developed (and continue to be!) into the services I offer now. From my love of typefaces to the pleasure of creating a flowing layout, to joy of a simple curve of a form... The opportunity to create any part of a visual identity is always a great pleasure...
My passion for graphic design has an equal: my passion for riding motorcycles. The feeling of riding a motorcycle has no equal: the joy of a simple curve on motorcycle...
