I am (Harald) Peter Ström, a graphic designer brought up on the internet, obsessively interested in the interaction with the endless combinations of text and image.
After co-founding web agencies Speedway and Abel & Baker in the late 1990s, I studied graphic design at Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and have since worked on tons of commissions and self-initiated projects, often — but not exclusively — with a starting point in typography, digital design and culture, publishing and contemporary art. I am especially interested in aesthetics developed within network based digital tools and publishing platforms.

‘Den digitala miljön och god typografi är inte alltid en enkel ekvation. Med en bakgrund inom webbprogrammering började Peter Ström redan på 90-talet att utforska den digitala typografin. Upptäcktsresan har gått via bland annat Gerrit Rietveld Academie i Amsterdam och den egna verksamheten Konst & Teknik. Han har givit ut både tryckta och digitala böcker, är en ovärderlig samarbetspartner i typografifrågor och en entusiasmerande kunskapsförmedlare. Peter Ström tilldelas Berlingpriset 2018 för sin inspirerande typografiska bredd och unika kunskap.’
