Cole Peterson

I’m Cole Peterson, a designer and illustrator who blends traditional craft with modern storytelling. For nearly two decades, I’ve created bold, character-driven visuals that live everywhere—from Trader Joe’s signage and packaging to comic art, posters, and editorial illustration. My work celebrates detail, humor, and heart, translating everyday ideas into visuals that connect. Based in Mesa, Arizona, I believe good design should make people pause, smile, and see the world a little differently.

  • Easy answer all of them! I really like whichever is best suited for the job. traditional media is fun because the client get a true original work with blood, sweat, and tears included.

  • No, I work on all sorts of projects, many of which require NDAs, and I am not allowed to post or even show them.
