Woodland Studios
Woodland Studios is a digital media company specializing in web design, photography, and graphic design for businesses and nonprofits that value clarity, consistency, and ease.
Built for people, not just businesses
Most of our clients are running full businesses, not managing marketing departments. You shouldn’t need to constantly update, explain, or patch together your digital media.
We specialize in working with business owners who want a professional, polished presence without the stress. Whether we are designing a website, creating visual content, or refining your brand, our goal is to make things simpler, clearer, and easier to maintain.
Core Values
Clarity Over
Clutter
Clear messaging, thoughtful visuals, and intentional design choices help your audience quickly understand who you are and what you offer, without unnecessary noise.
Consistency Across Platforms
We create cohesive digital media that feels unified across platforms, building trust and recognition wherever people interact with your brand.
Design that Supports Your Goals
Every element is created with purpose, supporting your goals and making it easier for the right people to connect, engage, and take action.
Mary Peterson
I’ve been drawn to digital media for as long as I can remember, from taking my first crooked family photo at eight years old to spending hours creating over-the-top PowerPoints for fun. That early curiosity grew into a career, earning a B.A. in Broadcast Media and an MFA in Collaborative Design, and working with organizations such as UVM Extension, the State of Vermont, and the UVM Health Network.
Along the way, I became a Certified Drone Pilot and developed a strong foundation in digital accessibility, from color contrast to alternative text. From farms to operating rooms, I’ve helped organizations tell their stories clearly and thoughtfully, bringing the same care and intention to every project today.
How We Work
Digital media works best when everything is connected. Your website, visuals, and brand should speak the same language and tell a clear story.
At Woodland Studios, we take a holistic approach. Instead of treating each service as a separate piece, we design digital media that works together, creating a more consistent presence and a clearer message for your audience.
Founder of Woodland Studios… kind of.
The original Woodland Studios was founded in the late 1980’s by two brothers, Steve and Andy Erny, who just so happen to also be my uncle and father! Through their company, they utilized woodworking to craft beautiful pieces of art! While both brothers are now retired, they each still have their wood shops, and it’s not uncommon to find them creating something new.
I wanted to carry on the legacy of Woodland Studios.With that said, it’s probably best I keep my hands away from metal blades, so I opted to carry on the family legacy in a different way by leveraging my expertise in digital media.
