Alex Peterson’s Summary
With a life-long passion for art and design and an ever-present affinity to technology I've been designing and developing websites since all the way back in 1996.
In my professional career I worked at the BBC for 7 years designing services for the web, interactive TV, mobiles and future emerging platforms. So I've learnt a great deal about all the many facets of user experience design such as user interfaces, usability, information architecture, accessibility and of course visual design.
Leaving the BBC I founded my own digital design studio Pixel Air, where I work today and utilise my years of knowledge to push the boundaries of interaction design and create visually innovative and user friendly online products for a diverse range of clients.
