What I've Been:

Hi, I'm Peyton — a designer, coder, and musician based in the United States.

I started my band Skating Polly with my sister Kelli back in 2009, and these days we tour and write as a trio with our brother Kurtis. We’ve played all over the world, from tiny DIY spaces to major festivals.

When I’m not on the road, I’m at home with my dog Georgie and my cat Denny — usually going on walks, watching movies, or hiding from the heat under the AC.

Much to Georgie and Denny’s dismay, I spend a lot of my downtime designing and coding. Lately, I’ve been building interactive tools for fans, diving deeper into web and game design.

Right now I’m working on a user profile system for my band’s website, expanding my bird identification game (Bird Match), and building a independent platformer game to go alongside my band's album, Chaos County Line.

When I need a break from touring or coding, you’ll usually find me gaming, birdwatching on a beautiful trail, or curled up with a book and my pets. I love anything that pulls me into another world — real or imagined.

At the core of all my work — whether I’m making music, designing tools, or building weird little games — is a love for creativity and connection.
