About Me
My name is Cole Peterson and I'm a technical artist/video game developer currently living in Seattle Washington. Computer graphics has always been a huge passion of mine as well as programming and art in general.

To me, technical art is a beautiful blend of the things I love: problem solving, art, math and collaboration. Building the tools and pipelines to achieve an artistic vision and solving unique problems are among my favorite things to do.

In addition, I am also an avid music producer with dabbling in all things from recording, mixing, songwriting and sound design. Though not my career path, the skills involved with music production is something I take pride in refining.
