Hi, my name is Peter and I’m a Quirkaholic... Just kidding... kind of.

Well, I was born in Helsinki, Finland, to a South African mother and Finnish father. (Quite a weird combo I know. Can't say I know too many South African-Finns.) I studied at the international school of Helsinki and graduated in 2001. Army service for Finnish men is mandatory so I served 12 months in the rapid deployment force. After my "time" was served, I couldn't picture myself living in a cold and dark country any longer. I packed 1 suitcase and jumped on the next plane to Cape Town...

After settling in Tamboerskloof I started my higher education at City Varsity where I studied multimedia design. The 2 year diploma course offered by City Varsity was of a high standard but it was a degree I was after. This decision prompted me to apply to study at the African Film and Drama Academy (AFDA) where I completed my BA in 2 years and specialised in Motion Picture Medium and editing.

Since my varsity days I have been working as a freelance "serial-innovator". I have worked with companies big and small, offering multi-facetted design in a range of mediums, such as web, video editing, sound and animation.

Anyways, it’s been an interesting few days for me as I started my Quirk career on Monday and am very happy in my new position as a web designer.

I'm gonna end this post, which I am sure will be the first of many, with an interesting fact: In the last 4000 years no new animals have been domesticated... Makes you think, maybe one day I will catch that illusive BigFoot. ;-)
