Hello, my name is Peiter.

I am a multidisciplinary designer who is curious about the way people interact with things.

Im the designer/creator of Bit Timer , an interval timer that was declared "So elegantly designed that, while you still won’t want to work out, you’ll really wish that you did." -- Fast Company

I'm a firm believer in sketching, and wrote an article for Smashing Magazine on the subject.
