Great work happens when design meets strategy—and a little more intention

For over 20 years, I've designed for 150+ brands across print, web, and digital marketing—from outdoor and wellness companies to mission-driven organizations. Whether you're a company looking for a designer who listens and delivers, or a solopreneur ready to grow without the grind, I bring the same approach: deep collaboration, clear communication, and an organized process that feels smooth and efficient.

For companies and organizations, I deliver strategic design work you can count on. For solopreneurs, I offer something deeper: a creative partnership that blends design and strategy with wellness coaching.

Every business, brand, and person deserves a custom approach because there’s no one way to live, to work or to create. Whether you’re a company with a bold mission or a solopreneur carving your unique path, your work should reflect your values, not a generic template. Together, we’ll create something sustainable that fits your vision, goals, and definition of success.

How design and wellness came together

After 20 years designing for mission-driven brands, I became a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. That combination sparked Creative Partnerships—a way to help solopreneurs grow their business while supporting their wellbeing through design, strategy, and coaching. My goal is to help their businesses not only look good, but feel good.

In addition to my Creative Partnerships, I continue to provide reliable, strategic creative work for companies and brands making a positive impact on the world. I currently focus on outdoor, wellness, travel, and food brands—or anyone out there trying to spread positivity.

Hey, I'm Maura: fueled by matcha and Colorado air

When I'm not working, you'll find me outside—paddleboarding, mountain biking, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, or hiking. I recharge in nature, and I've built my business to make sure there's plenty of time for it.

I also love traveling and exploring new places (especially cafes with good matcha), cooking healthy food, reading fiction, business, and personal growth books, and watching romantic comedies for pure escapist joy. My biggest adventure partner? My husband of 16 years, who's been my cheerleader through this entire journey and my favorite person to be outside with.

Need a designer or a creative partnership that goes deeper?

I’d love to hear about your project.
