Peter Leidberg





Peter is originally from the south of Sweden, where he grew up drawn to graphic design and art. He studied graphic design at university in Western Australia, then worked in the design industry back in Sweden — until he found himself pulled toward hand lettering and calligraphy instead. That shift has shaped his work ever since, spanning brush painting, calligraphy with a nib, and other lettering techniques.


Today he runs a design studio and sign painting shop in Tokyo, Japan, taking on everything from large commercial clients to small mom-and-pop restaurants and cafés — a variety he genuinely enjoys.


Alongside his studio work, Peter teaches workshops on lettering and sign painting around the world, with regular stops in New York, Taipei, Shenzhen, and Sydney, as well as across Europe. Teaching lets him share the skills he's built up over the years, adapting his approach to each person so they can grasp things faster.
