Peter Flaschner Founder, Creative Director

Peter’s formal education is in marketing and design. But it’s his broad and varied experience as an entrepreneur that makes him unusually well suited to modern blog and web design. Peter launched The Blog Studio in early 2005, after experiencing blogging’s benefits first hand. His personal site, Almost Cool was (once upon a time) a very popular destination for designers and web based entrepreneurs.

Peter had the fortune to make one of those big life changing decisions a number of years ago and went back to school to study graphic design. Since then, his passion for design has only grown. It’s a passion based on combining beauty with function. He still feels like every time he looks at a design he learns something new.

When he’s not in front of the computer, you’ll find Peter playing with his two young daughters, riding his ridiculously expensive road bike, skiing, playing guitar in his band, or with his nose stuck in a book.
