I'm Hayden Peek. When I'm not enjoying myself designing things (mainly digital), animating in Flash, illustrating, coming up with ideas and making sure that type is as beautiful as possible – I'm making nasty and noisy electronic music

“Hayden is a creative dynamo. His enthusiasm for the creative task at hand is infectious. Everything he does, he does with passion and conviction. Every task, no matter what size, is worthy of proper thought and creative process. He is hungry to do great things.”
Tom Hyde
Strategy Director, Profero
“The first word that comes to mind is passion. Hayden is always thinking and trying to push an idea to it's limit. And it's not just about the big idea with him but the whole package. A keen eye for illustration, design, motion and sound will make him one of the best Art Directors out there one day. I had the pleasure of working directly with him on a number of projects but most notably on a high profile government project which I managed the design of and he supported me. He is eager to learn, took direction well and went over and above when needed. An asset to any company. This quote by Ogilvy nails it... "Hire people who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it. Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine."
Alex Rekasi
Senior Designer / Art Director - Poke
“No little web site text box will do Hayden justice, but we'll give it a go: Hayden is one of the most creative brains I have had the pleasure to work with. He is just bubbling with ideas, and unlike most people, most of his ideas are not only really good, but thoughtful, fun and actually do-able. Hayden started in a very junior position and has over the years grown into a fully fledged designer, and he never stops learning. If more people were like Hayden the world would be different in many good ways. In the meantime I am happy to have worked with Hayden. I would hire him if it was my company, and I look forward to following his career, and perhaps even to work with him again (though me now living in another country makes that a bit more complicated of course).”
Mathias Hellquist
Technology Director - Profero
“Hayden is a very impassioned and creative individual. He likes nothing better than a healthy debate about creativity, and can really turn out some amazing and ground-breaking work. He gives his job 100%, and truly cares about the work he delivers. I have always thought he has a unique talent.”
Jaime McLennan
Associate Creative Director - Tribal DDB
“Hayden is a fantastic creative and a enthusiastic character all around. From the moment his CV jumped out at me, until the day I left, he continued to defy expectations. Look out ad scene, one to watch here!”
Ian Cassidy
Creative Director - TBG London
“Hayden is arguably one of the most talented designers in the Profero studio - with a keen eye for detail, tremendous creative ability and sharp wit to boot, he was a pleasure to work with and always delivered on time. I would gladly work with Hayden again in the future and would be pleased to expand further on this recommendation if he should ever require a reference.”
