Hey, Peter here š
My "day job" is to help companies build better product experiences, and I've been lucky enough to work with some of the best teams in the world (Klarna, Notion, Google, Pitch...).
Eventually the penny dropped: I'm pointing out loads of the same mistakes, again and again. So I started just creating and posting free content in my spare time, which highlights some of the 'face-palm' mistakes in products I use.
This became Built for Mars, and there are now nearly 90 case studies up there in total. (Aiming to release 2 per month in 2021).
And whilst I've done my 10,000 hours finessing over UX, I'm still learning about how to buildāand cater toāa community. So I'd love to hear your feedback, and if you like what I do then you can subscribe to the newsletter for a few new case studies each month.
ThanksāI'll be hanging around in the comments today so ask anything (UX related, business-related, meme-related etc.) āļø

Yeah, there are some great resources out there which I love and recommend to companies all the time (shoutout to growth.design, mobbin.design and useronboard.com), but nothing really captured the 'common sense' issues that I find myself talking about every day.
So I'd say that's my niche: pointing out UX toothaches that once you've seen, you can never unseeāand hopefully explaining the impact of those issues in a broader context.
^ In a recent user survey, someone referred to me as the John Wick of UX mistakes. Which I quite like.

Peter has made his "Built for Mars" UI/UX reviews become the de-facto benchmark for the whole sector. The amount of work he puts in shows with both the quality and quantity of his work being outsdanding.
Amazing resource for UX case studies! In particular, the in-depth analysis of the neobanking space is crucial for anybody who is interested in that space. Bookmark the website and subscribe to the newsletter!
I subscribed instantly when I stumbled upon Built for Mars Case Studies. There is just something about learning through examples and I think the overall industry needs more things like this and less design thinking theory.
I've been subscribed to this newsletter for a few months now and don't regret it a bit.
Absolutely love the UX of going through the case study. So intuitive and chill :)
Awesome product and resource. Peterās ability to simplify, summarize, and deliver spot-on actionable recommendations for improved UX that is easily digested and understood is fantastic. Itās a must-have Reference resource for those interested in real-world and current UX case studies!
Built for Mars case studies is a treasure trove. I am in awe by how some of the best companies - in regards to seamless UX experiences - make simple mistakes. It simply proves that UX is a never ending building process. Just like writing, it can always be improved.
