Every so often we will post an employee spotlight to highlight members of our team – Enjoy!

I live in Loveland, Colorado

My husband is an audio engineer who also fixes vintage electronics (he’s a very nostalgic person). Our Yorkie Rupert is a professional napper who somehow takes up most of the couch.

My husband and I had followed schooling and work from one city to another before deciding to put down roots in Colorado. I had just finished a stint for a defense contractor in Boston and was curious what opportunities might be closer to our new home. I found Limina, who happened to have an opening at the time. 

I remember thinking, “how have I not heard of this company before?”. I applied. It was over a holiday and both owners were away from the office at the time, but they set up an interview anyway. We all got on the call and I think we realized it was a good fit.   

Limina emphasizes process, user research, communication, collaboration, and understanding innovation happens when different perspectives are encouraged. We often help our clients de-silo (e.g., information, processes, user flows, etc.), so it’s not surprising that we subscribe to the same philosophy as a company. Having my areas of expertise while also being encouraged to continue to expand my skills in other areas, to me, that’s pretty inspiring and always interesting.

The most important? That’s a tough one. I’ve been in the industry for 18 years now, but when I joined Limina 5 years ago, I realized they operated on a whole other level. 

Limina is at the forefront of DesignOps, working alongside heavy hitters in the UX community. Working with our clients to tackle their challenges with this forward focus is awesome. I think that’s the most important lesson learned, the power of empowering clients. 

Knowledge sharing is very impactful, and allows our clients to continue in the right direction even after our engagement is complete. We’ve helped many large organizations improve their usability at the same time as improving their internal processes. That can be in the form of moving a large government organization with many different websites onto a single CMS with consistent structures and workflows or partnering with an enterprise to build up their DesignOps practice. Empowering our clients while also empowering their users has huge impacts.

You’re an incredible asset to the team – your dedication to excellence is widely recognized by your teammates and our clients!  Thank you for bringing your whole self and leaving it all on the field every week!
