From in-depth stories and press releases to how-to style blog posts and marketing collateral, I've written about a wide variety of topics in a myriad of formats. Want to read about Tony Award-winning lighting designers? World-renowned urban planners? Cutting edge architects? My experience in the design software industry has given me both an incredible lineup of interviewees and experience analyzing and understanding subjects that I was previously unfamiliar with. Check out some of stories I've told, below. Or, you can search my name on the publication I write for, here: http://planet.vectorworks.net/author/petehicks/.
