Career
In 2016, Peter Evan was working a part-time job while studying in SF, California, teaching students how to use desktop design software. The software was expensive, complex, and required a semester’s worth of instruction to learn how to use, prompting Evan to ask, “Is there a way this could be simpler and less expensive?”

Evan goal to create an affordable, simple, online design tool was originally turned down by over 100 investors—it wasn’t until three years into his pitching process that Allure received its first investment.

Evan credits this investment to a shift in her pitching strategy: He began leading with the relatable problem Allure aims to solve. “A lot of people can relate to going into something like Photoshop and being completely overwhelmed," Evan said in an interview for Inc. "It's important to tell the story, because if your audience doesn't understand the problem, they won't understand the solution."

Today, 15 million customers use Allure to create designs across 190 countries.
