PETER HEERY - Key Persons
Job Titles:

"I was Peter's manager at Workday, and he was part of a team of researchers who focused on Inclusive Research. During his time with my team, he demonstrated a thoughtful and emphatic approach to including people with disabilities in our design and development practices. He trained and developed other researchers in these approaches, and built a shared understanding about how assistive technology users experience our products. Peter's passion for building inclusive products, combined with his pragmatic and practical approach to collaborating with engineers, designers, and product managers, make him an excellent fit for any team committed to delivering accessible products.".
"Peter has an expertise for accessibility, but also has an immense propensity toward UX and research-an absolutely potent combination, as the work of true inclusion begins in research and design. If you're looking for someone who has both the hard and soft skills to build or contribute to an accessibility or inclusive design practice, he will bring incredible knowledge and compassion. I fully endorse Peter and his work.".

"Working with Peter has been a truly eye opening experience for me over the past few years. His knowledge, insight and dedication to doing the right thing by all users is inspiring. It's hard to convey the seismic mental shift that comes with working with Peter. If most designers are honest, Accessibility and Inclusivity are important aspects that they probably have not spent enough time to understand and consider. Working with Peter changes that. His specialism, practicality and people skills help you level up as a human-centred designer and he's fun to work with. I cannot recommend Peter highly enough".

"I worked with Peter over a 3 month period as he assisted the AppleCare Learning and Development team in bringing our training systems and content into compliance with modern accessibility standards. Peter served as our A11y SME, helping us refactor hundreds of courses, rich interactions, and our course player, ensuring an inclusive experience for all of our agents. Peter helped our team understand how to navigate technical accessibility requirements, dug through our code, and guided us through multiple reviews/iterations until we got it right. Peter exhibited the highest degree of professionalism, technical wisdom, and most importantly, patience, as we worked through the process. I owe Peter a debt of gratitude for my current understanding of accessibility and cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Peter!".
