Peter Carpenter is the owner and creative director at Thoroughbred Design Group. His dream of building a branding and creative agency stems back to high school when he worked for the various industry-related businesses in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

His time spent at an ad agency fueled his fire. Looking over the shoulders of art directors and photographers as they designed ads for Harley-Davidson and seeing the finished work of art in print was his Disney World!
