It’s Peter! Peter Ha is a designer, artist and educator. He is a co-founder of Equal Parts Studio, a Toronto-based contemporary graphic design practice, whose process is founded on curiosity and finding the joy and playfulness in every project.

In this conversation, you'll hear why Peter loves type, including some different professional and passion projects that put type in the spotlight. Peter seamlessly transitions from coding to working with wood on type and back again, using a variety of digital and analog tools in experimental ways. You’ll also hear Peter share his Vietnamese culture (and a Zoolander reference makes an appearance!).

I encourage you to check out Instagram @talkpaperscissors or talkpaperscissors.info for visuals that Peter describes in this episode.
