About

Running the full spectrum of startup to corporate environments, Peter Skwiot Smith has spent his career working to define order in chaos. Shifting through design to product to strategy, he strips complex problems down to their essentials, crafting plans & path to “next.”

As an experienced design leader & keen observer, he focuses on bringing out the best from teams: weaving through conversations, pulling the actual problems to the forefront—parsing in real time to help teams default to action—even if the action is not to build.
