Peter DiNardi

I am a Vermont based Graphic and Web designer with over 20 years of digital experience with a variety of clients both past and present. I have an understanding of what it takes to design and build an effective online presence, that is as attractive as it is user and search engine friendly. And rather enjoy making something look great and still be an effective marketing tool or brand. Both online or brick.
