Australian designer Peter Gould explores contemporary graphic design, digital art, photography and the rich visual & spiritual traditions of Islam.

Peter embraced Islam in 2002 while studying Design at the University of Technology, Sydney. After graduating with honours he founded a design studio commissioned by clients such as Sony, Colgate, Vodafone & McAfee. He began travelling to the Muslim world, being inspired by cities like Fes, Damascus & Mecca, resulting in a unique cultural fusion of styles and reactive to a world of misunderstanding.
