The 7ms Team

She lends her vocal talents to 7ms by voicing the intros and outros of every episode. She also handles PR and media relations on behalf of the podcast. In her “spare time” when she is not being a super-cool mom to three kids, she’s a practicing hairstylist & up-cycles and refinishes home decor.

pETE WHITEHEAD
Pete is our Resident Artist. He illustrates custom images for each 7 Minute Story. He has been interested in creating images and telling stories ever since he was a little guy. As he got older, he realized that all the time he spent drawing, (to avoid homework), was actually a skill set that he could use in his adult life. He went to Rhode Island School of Design and majored in “old school” Illustration but has thoroughly embraced and meshed the digital world into his work over the years. He was already busy drawing pictures of Aaron as an escape from work tedium, when Aaron asked if he would be interested in creating illustrations for 7 Minute Stories. Of course he said “yes”.
