Peter Kallen - Men's Products Design Director - Nau

Peter received his bachelor's degree in apparel design from Bassist College (now AiA) in 1986 and was hired by Nike to design their ACG and Aqua Gear lines. In 1994, he left to start a snowboard brand which he sold before setting out to create his own brand, 'Peter Kallen,' available only in Japan. This ended after 5 years at which point he focused on growing his design company, 'Thinkbomb Designlab,' and continued to contract with a variety of outdoor/snowboard and fashion companies while at the same time opening a garden store for the urban dweller called 'Dig: Dream in Green.' He sold the garden store, and shortly thereafter hooked up with Chris Van Dyke and the Nau dream unfolded in front of him.
