Peter Allen’s Summary
Peter Michaels Allen (that's me) is currently a Freelance Designer with a focus on Web & User Interface Design and Front-End Development. Over the past three and a half years, I have established a practice that has earned the respect of clients and design firms throughout Maryland and Northern Virginia.
My freelancer card is currently filled at the moment; however I am seeking a full time opportunity with a design firm, game developer/publisher or in-house design team.
I occasionally do like to do something other than stare into the face of a monitor. I enjoy countless hours of playing video games and playing guitar (not, I repeat, no Guitar Hero or Rock Band though I can shred those as well). I also enjoy traveling as I have lived in, or visited, places such as Italy, Canada, Spain and 25 of the 50 United States.
Favorite comedians include Lewis Black, Louis CK, Don Rickles, Dave Chappell and Dennis Leary.
I love most of Mel Brooks and Quinton Terintino films while making room for the occasional “Shawshank Redemption”.
