Hi, I’m Peter Heppner, a Digital Art Director based in Boulder who loves turning complex briefs into clear, visually compelling experiences. I specialize in motion graphics, video editing, web design and social content creation for local and regional clients. I lead by example, guiding teams through concept to delivery with an eye for detail and a passion for pixel-perfect polish. Over the years I’ve built and mentored cross-disciplinary teams, developed brand guidelines that scale into animation and video, and delivered campaigns that work across websites, social channels and digital ads. I’m always exploring new tools and techniques to keep our work fresh, efficient, and impactful for clients who value both form and function.
