At Adaptive Path, Peter began with a focus on information architecture, and over time expanded his knowledge to include product strategy, user research and practice development. He’s worked with a wide variety of clients, from large companies such as Intel, Wells Fargo, PeopleSoft, and United Airlines, to smaller, avant-garde firms like SocialText (an enterprise wiki startup) and Rojo (a RSS feedreader acquired by Six Apart).
