About Periscope Digital Assurance

A standards-driven accessibility and quality engineering firm built to see what others miss.

Our Foundation

Periscope Digital Assurance LLC is a Detroit-based accessibility and digital quality engineering studio founded by seasoned UX, QA, and standards professionals. We exist to raise the bar for digital experiences by applying rigorous, evidence-based methods that uncover issues long before they become risks. Our work blends human-centered design, accessibility compliance, and technical precision to help organizations deliver digital products that are usable, resilient, and inclusive for everyone.

We bring decades of combined experience across government, enterprise, transportation, and public-facing digital systems spaces where accuracy, clarity, and compliance are non-negotiable. Our approach is grounded in WCAG, Section 508, and industry-recognized QA methodologies, but elevated through modern UX thinking and a commitment to ethical, transparent practice.

What We Stand For

Periscope was built on a simple belief: quality and accessibility are not add-ons they are the foundation of trustworthy digital experiences. We help teams adopt sustainable, standards-aligned practices that reduce risk, improve user satisfaction, and strengthen long-term product health. Whether we're auditing an interface, validating a workflow, or building a repeatable QA framework, our goal is always the same: empower organizations to deliver digital experiences that work for everyone, every time.

How We Work

We don't just identify issues we illuminate patterns, root causes, and systemic gaps. Our process is collaborative, transparent, and intentionally educational. We equip teams with the knowledge, tools, and documentation they need to maintain quality long after the engagement ends. Every audit, test plan, and recommendation is crafted with clarity, precision, and real-world applicability.

Our Mission

To elevate digital experiences through accessibility, quality, and standards-driven engineering; helping organizations build products that are inclusive, resilient, and built to last.
