About
Slipper Studios is led by Eva Kaniasty, who acts as principal consultant on most projects, working in a collaborative manner with agencies, internal teams, and/or other trusted consultants. She’s worked in a range of industries, including healthcare, education, and high tech, but what she truly cares about is making technology easier for people to use regardless of subject domain. She received her Master’s from Bentley University in 2007, serves on the board of UXPA Boston, and is a repeat presenter at local and national conferences.
Slipper Studios is a woman-owned Massachusetts business.
Triangulation is one of Eva’s favorite words, which explains how she combined 3 unrelated interests – psychology, technology, and giving advice – into a career in user experience. Her current interests include visualizing research results, coaching & training, and accomplishing the impossible.
Eva currently serves as Chair for the User Centered Design online Master’s Program.
Brandeis University’s Division of Graduate Professional Studies (GPS) provides an academic experience to working professionals who require part-time graduate programs. GPS is committed to excellence in its academic programming in applied fields. Each program is guided by an Advisory Board.

IDF is an independent non-profit initiative with an objective that sounds like a paradox: that of increasing the level of global design education to an Ivy League standard, while at the same time reducing costs to as low as possible.
Eva is a graduate of the Bentley HFID Master’s program, and remains closely involved with the Bentley UX community through mentoring, and through her connection as a previous employee at the Bentley User Experience Center.
