My name is Peter Desrosier.
I was born in Minnesota, raised in Boston, MA, and graduated from Wheaton College in IL in 2016. I now live in Annandale, Virginia with my wife and two rescue dogs.
Throughout high school and college I took up graphic design, Photoshop, After Effects, film production, Illustrator and web design as hobbies. I would take pictures and shoot videos on my phone for fun and taught myself how to edit them with the help of online videos and tutorials. I wrote, recorded, and produced music myself to learn sound design, and gradually began taking my work into the professional market.
As I continued to study and grow, I came to appreciate graphic design, marketing, public relations, and film production as more than hobbies.
By the time I graduated, what had started as curiosity had turned into a career direction. I kept building — adding photography, Cinema 4D, Unity development, VR, and 3D technical art to the toolkit, always looking for the next medium that could tell a story in a new way.
More recently that drive has expanded beyond the purely creative. At HP I've spent the last two years designing and helping administer a training platform for 2,000+ users, building content systems, and developing a full visual brand from scratch. The problems look different on the surface, but the underlying approach hasn't changed much: figure out what's needed, learn whatever it takes to build it, and make the output worth looking at.
My passion began with digital storytelling, and it hasn't changed a bit — if anything, finding new ways to apply it keeps me more excited about my work than ever.
