About

Why Studio Peters?

I founded Studio Peters to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application. While pursuing my Master's in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Utah, I realized the best way to grow as a UX professional is to work on real problems for real businesses.

That's why I'm offering complimentary UX audits to small businesses. It's a genuine exchange: you get professional insights into improving your digital presence, and I gain hands-on experience that goes beyond coursework. No strings attached.

I bring the same rigor and methodology I apply to my academic research — user-centered design principles, accessibility standards, and evidence-based recommendations. The only difference is the price tag.

If you're a small business looking to improve your website or app experience, I'd love to help. Let's connect.
