As a Chicago-based lighting designer, Peter applies his interest in Zen principles and biophilia to adapt architecture for people. A favorite quote of his by Sekito Kisen in Sandokai, "Light and darkness create an opposition, yet depend on each other just as the step taken by the right leg depends on the step taken by the left" is evident in many of Peter's designs.
Having studied both theater and psychology, Peter employs a process of putting himself into the space, visualizing how the people who ultimately use the space will function and enjoy their surroundings. Peter likes to use light to evoke emotions.
