Peter Silvia
Creative Director | Visual Storyteller
Funny how you can spend years of your life immersed in an occupation before you realize what you have been doing all along.
I was born and raised in Newport, RI. A self-taught photographer, designer, and writer, I learned my craft in the early '80s as an apprentice to commercial photographers in New York City. I returned to Newport in 1986 to work with ad agencies and designers in Providence and Boston, collaborating on print projects for corporations, healthcare providers, schools, and universities. Later, from 2004-2020, I was a sought-after, high-end wedding photographer in Newport.
But it wasn't till recently that I discovered who I've been all this time: a visual storyteller.
I launched Broad Arrow Creative, during the pandemic, to help organizations do a better job of telling stories that truly connect with their target audience.
As the creative director, art director, and photographer at Broad Arrow Creative, I personally handle the core elements of a visual strategy for our clients.
I'll help you with the overall vision and narrative, for your communications, marketing, and fundraising efforts.
As a creative director, I'll help you discover and implement a creative solution that communicates who you are, what you do, and why you do it.
As a visual storyteller, my photography will evoke an emotion that resonates and inspires your audience to act.
