MY STORY

I'm Uma Petersen, founder of PixelMagic Studios™. I'm a designer, researcher, and systems thinker who sees the world through structure. I turn complex ideas into models, visuals, and experiences that help people understand systems, ask better questions, and imagine new possibilities.

My work spans user experience design, information architecture, research, conceptual modeling, and creative development. I'm especially interested in the spaces between disciplines — where geometry, technology, human behavior, and imagination intersect.
