Peter Yelton

Design Engineer

Blending artistic vision with technical expertise in full-stack development, AI integration, and 3D design to create innovative digital experiences.

About Me

I'm a Design Engineer with a unique background that bridges the gap between artistic creativity and technical innovation. With 4 years of experience at SFDS in Brooklyn, NY, I've evolved from an artist to a technical specialist, specializing in 3D printing and high-profile client projects.

My work spans from experiential marketing design for major brands like Dior, Hermes, and Ogilvy, to sculptural pieces for Madame Tussaud's and Mariah Carey. I've also contributed to innovative projects for Pfizer and Rivian, creating custom 3D printing solutions and automotive design components.

Today, I focus on full-stack development and AI integration, bringing my design sensibilities to create seamless digital experiences that combine aesthetic appeal with technical excellence.
