Ulla-Maija Kivimaki helps move projects forward in every conceivable way. In a single year, she created my website, made a complicated pitch deck presentation for a film proposal, set up social media campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Vimeo, as well as international email campaigns. She is not only a wizard at tech problem solving, but also has great integrity and intelligence and is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to everyone I know.

Holly Oliphant

Owner, Holland Creative, New York, New York, USA

Ulla-Maija Kivimaki did a fantastic job creating my website. Faced with a number of challenges, Ulla-Maija rose to the occasion and went above and beyond to create a top-notch product.  She took care of everything from the design aesthetic to organizing the site for easy access and efficiency. She photographed items and guided me in writing the copy, offering a complete service. Additionally, she maintains the site for me, sifting through junk emails and making additions to keep the website fresh and current. I was so nervous to even begin the process of creating a website, but Ulla-Maija made it effortless, and the end result was beyond professional. I have referred Ulla-Maija to friends and colleagues and she has never disappointed. I wish every professional service I had in my life was as capable and diligent as Ulla-Maija.

Decoupage Artist, Bedford, New York, USA

We started working with Ulla-Maija in 2012 to create our website for our new business Biddle and Bellidora Communications. Since that time, she has been the go-to for all our event email campaigns. Her great client service and expertise have been so helpful to us and our clients. 

I started my business Carole Bellidora Communications and again she was helpful to me with my new endeavor. Last year I published my husband’s book An Animal Alphabet by Emery Westfall. She helped me with the layout, publishing collaboration and editing, and basically held my hand through this process! She created a beautiful website, Mail Chimp campaign and newspaper ad for the book. Thank You!!

“I was introduced to Ulla-Maija by a friend who uses her to do her website. When we first spoke I felt extremely comfortable working with her. She worked with me to build a beautiful website for my new business. Ulla-Maija is extremely knowledgeable, and took care of everything, choosing the right tools including content, software, hosting, email, payment options, SEO and more. She was patient and answered every question I had. She used her skills and worked with me to design a website that reflects my vision and that works across all platforms. As my business grows I look forward to working with Ulla-Maija on updating the site.”

“I have worked with Ulla-Maija for the past five years and found her to be absolutely reliable in managing my website and securely preserving my work and files. She has always been readily available for any changes and additions that I needed to make. She photographed me and in a very short session captured my personality in portraits that I am very pleased with. I am happy to have found a website designer & producer who understood my mission and presented it in a refined and personal setting.”

“Ulla-Maija is very creative, professional, easy to work with and meticulous over details. She upgraded our Oasis tutor program presentations including online newsletters and invitations. On her own initiative, she guided us to use electronic mailings efficiently. She also designed and printed a beautiful 50th anniversary book for our group and suggested the addition of an online version and created our blog. She skillfully restored photos and documents to bring them back to life and made the project a great success.

She exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend her services.”

John Dunnicliff

“The Yoga Society of New York came to Ulla-Maija with a multi-faceted project that required creativity and skills in several areas. We wanted to raise funds to produce a “50th Anniversary Souvenir” book and to fundraise for our building projects. Ulla-Maija created a fundraising system to solicit advertisement sales for the book and to receive donations through an anniversary website which she designed.

She also designed and managed promotion campaigns for the project, including emailings and printed materials, such as postcards and posters. She used her skills as a graphic designer and photographer to design a beautiful cover, take new photos, restore and retouch old photos, and to collaborate on the production of the printed book.

We recommend her highly for complex projects that require such a wide variety of skills to succeed.

We have enjoyed working with her on many projects during the past 12 years and will continue to do so in the future.”

Carol Rollinger

President, Yoga Society of New York, Inc., Monroe, New York, USA

“Ulla-Maija understood the spirit of my work and created a very personal website that I love. She restored my videos and photos beautifully and with her attention to detail and her expertise in branding and marketing she gave me a website beyond what I imagined. She is extremely collaborative, highly resourceful, inventive, and a joy to work with.”

Mary Michele Rutherfurd

Metaphysical Consultant & Newspaper Columnist Miami, Florida, USA

“One of the things about her that impressed me most back in the day (1980s) was that she was the first person I ever knew who had an Apple computer and she was incredible at figuring out everything it could do. It was amazing, and she just got better at it.

Few weeks ago my son visited the Apple store’s Genius Bar in White Plains trying to get his Macbook Pro resuscitated but to no avail. However, after a few quiet moments with Ms. Ulla-Maija, this very same machine was up and running better than ever. And now a brand-new career for a woman who hit the top on a few of them.

But besides tweaking whatever might ail your Mac, Ulla-Maija is the go-to girl for expanding your computer horizons, whether it’s setting up websites, choosing software, social media, computer protection, looking for creative solutions you didn’t know existed, etc.

Seek no further. Contact this extraordinary person who is on my Top 10 Hit Parade of human beings. I mean it!”
