In 2002, while studying graphic design, Peter
(Yaseen) embraced Islam. He began travelling
abroad to the Middle East and fell in love with
the beautiful old cities of Fes, Mecca, Istanbul
and Damascus.
Feeling inspired both visually and spiritually,
he embarked on a series of personal artistic
projects that resulted in a remarkable fusion
of classical Islamic design elements and his
signature vibrant, fresh graphic style.

highly needed and welcomed in current times. In many ways he as an individual and his work represent the new Muslim cool.” - Founder, The Halal Journal

that understand the deep spiritual
heritage of Islam, how to connect
with audiences with color and
imagery, and most importantly -
how to link the two in an authentic
way. Peter Gould and his team
have consistently imagined digital
landscapes and brands that fire
the imagination of viewers in an
authentic manner, and are role
models for hundreds of artists
seeking to follow in their footsteps”

Peter has always loved to explore new ideas and opportunities to be creative with technology. “I’m truly excited and passionate about exploring how we can use new technologies for highly beneficial, positive, educational experiences. In a world full of misunderstanding, we need to be incredibly creative and innovative to move forward as a global community. Insha’Allah if we dream big with good intentions, the possibilities are virtually endless.”
For example, building from his Augmented Reality (AR) thesis during
his time at the University of Technology, Peter applied and was
selected by Google as a ‘Glass Pioneer’ from a pool of over half a
million entries. His resulting ‘Handsfree Quran’ device is unique
in the world. Peter’s optimism and interest in exploring these
technologies extends to wearable devices, smart Mosques, and
using his Virtual Reality programs to revisit ancient Baghdad, join
study circles in Al Andalus, or fly to the stars on a virtual Buraq.
