Bio
Jon Fukuda
Something everyone should know about Maria is that she is as modest as they come when it comes to accomplishments, value and commitment to success she brings to everything she does. Taking the mantle of CEO at Limina, there has been no exception to this rule. Maria is driven, with clear vision and consistently takes a metered approach to define, design and develop software projects from the moment a lead comes in through deploying the product and beyond. Our clients and business partners continue to be impressed with the leadership she brings to our engagements. In co-piloting Limina with Maria, her business leadership has been second to none and I am proud to call myself a partner. I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Maria for over 13 years as a co-founder and business owner and over 18 years as a UX practitioner and I continue to look forward to many more.

I have really enjoyed working with Maria on several projects over the past nine months. Maria can understand both sides of the usability fence, design and research, and can thus help clients clearly and efficiently scope out the kind of effort that they need. From my perspective as a sub-contractor to Limina, I have found her to be an excellent communicator and project manager, and she is great at handing over appropriately framed portions of the work for me to do. Further, she is an all-around nice person to work with, and I look forward to many opportunities to work with Maria and the Limina team in the future.

I've been building customer facing web applications since 1998 with Deloitte Consulting, Startups and a number of Federal clients. I cannot think of a more talented, personable and professional Design/User Experience team than Limina, AO and Maria in particular as she leads and shepherds the entire effort from start to successful finish. I've worked with Maria's team on projects for major federal agencies as well as smaller clients and more recently a hot startup in the DC market. I trust her judgment and integrity and recommend her and the Limina team without reservation.
