Creative Partnerships
Ready to get clear on what you actually want and finally start making it happen?
Together, we’ve got this.
You might be working through a business problem, a creative project, a career or life transition, a wellness rut, or simply a period of wondering, “Okay...what now?”
Or maybe you’re over the courses, the frameworks, or trying to think through it all on your own. You’d love a partner to think it through with you — listening, questioning, brainstorming and keeping the whole thing moving.
As your Creative Partner, I combine my certified coaching skills with 20 years of experience in design, strategy, marketing and business. But since this is fully customized to you, the combo depends entirely on what you need.
Sometimes we’ll focus on coaching to untangle what’s in your head and name what you actually want (not what you thought you had to do). Sometimes we’ll focus on strategy to map out steps, research your market and build a plan. Sometimes we’ll focus on creative direction to figure out the right solution before you invest the time and money into making it.
Together, we’ll prioritize what matters and turn ideas into real momentum, helping you go from “I think I know what I want” to “It’s happening.”
The best part? We’ll make the process exciting and energizing — not exhausting.
There’s no one way to live, to work or to do you.
Let’s find your way, and stay curious.
Because this isn’t forever — it’s just what’s next.
Who this is for
You might be:
Feeling like something needs to change, but you don’t know what
Coming up with lots of ideas, but not sure what to do with them
Wondering if the thing you could do is the thing you actually want to do
Looking for more balance or breathing room in your life and work
Trying to solve a business problem but unsure of the best way forward
Planning a new project (a rebrand, launch, or marketing piece) and want the strategy nailed down before investing in creative work
Noticing something isn’t working anymore but not sure what exactly to change
But you also feel ready:
To be patient, put in the effort, and embrace the process, ups and downs included
To show up with your ideas and a willingness to experiment
To figure out what’s next without holding it responsible for being the forever answer
To stay open to the idea that what you thought you wanted may not be the thing you need
What you’ll gain
Whether you’re exploring what’s next or trying to solve something specific, things can get muddy and leave you feeling stuck.
Let’s get clear, make decisions, create a plan and start moving forward.
Direction: Gain clarity through deep dives into your vision, goals, and where you actually want to go
Decisions: A clear path through the mess and confidence about what to do next
Priorities: A clear idea of what matters and what doesn’t
Concrete next steps: Not just a plan, but clear steps that feel attainable and doable
Accountability: Someone riding beside you who sees the potential and keeps you focused
Things crossed OFF the list: No more someday. Things actually started. Movement actually happening. And the good stuff starting now.
How we’ll work together
It starts with understanding what you’re actually trying to accomplish.
What do you want your days to look like?
What do you most value?
What are you trying to bring to life?
What problem are you trying to solve?
We’ll get to the heart of it.
Coaching: I listen deeply and reflect back what I hear to help you name what you actually want — including the things you might not have articulated for yourself yet
Strategy: Based on what works for you, we’ll map out steps and build a plan that fits your vision, goals and capacity
Creative direction: I can help you identify the right solution before you start, or give you creative guidance on something you’ve already started (by yourself, with AI, or another designer) to get it ready to launch
Tech support: If you need help choosing and navigating the apps and services that support your business, we can discuss and research the options to discover what best fits your needs
Project management: An ongoing task list, scheduled check-ins, weekly reminders — whatever you need to make progress inevitable and work through stuck points
Additional experts: When the plan calls for outside expertise, I can connect you with some of my trusted photographers, copywriters, SEO/search people and more.
Creative Partnerships often reveal what needs to be made, like branding, a website or collateral. If and when you’re ready to make it real, we can bring in Creative Projects.
What it looks like
Investment: $1500 per month
Start with one month. If we’re building strong momentum, as most Partnerships do, we can continue month-to-month, depending on availability. Most Partnerships benefit from a few months together, so if you know you have something grander to tackle, let’s plan ahead and reserve the time.
Partnerships take a lot of brain and heart, so a limited number are available per year.
Two 75-minute Creative Partnership Sessions per month on Zoom
One extra 75-minute kickoff Session (first month only) to really dive in and lay a solid foundation
Ongoing email support Monday through Friday for questions, ideas, gut checks and a place to share the wins in real time
Accountability check-ins from me, if you need a nudge to keep moving forward
Creative reviews of work in progress through email or a brief screen recording
A shared Google workspace with notes from our calls, priorities, next steps and any working documents
Research and problem-solving between calls when something needs extra attention before our next session
“You're not only helping me figure out what I want to do, you're actually helping me DO it.”
– Shawna, Creative Partnership Client
Doing it alone can be lonely. Having someone to reflect your progress, brainstorm ideas, keep you accountable, and remind you how far you've come?
That's when the momentum builds — and the real magic happens.

Creative Partnership Sessions
A focused Creative Partnership Session gives us time to dig into one question, problem or idea together — without the ongoing support of a full Partnership.
We can work through a decision, brainstorm possibilities, get you unstuck, figure out the direction for a creative project, or review something you’ve already started. You’ll leave with more clarity and concrete next steps to keep moving forward.
I've spent 20 years making businesses look good.
Now I want to help them feel good, too.
“Maura Kelpy is amazing. Working with her is a gift. She listens deeply, brings clarity to my jumble of ideas, and transforms them into something beautiful. With her guidance, I feel supported, grounded, and able to create with ease.
In the past, I worked under high-pressure bosses who only cared about getting the job done. Now, as my own boss, I want to create with ease and offer my audience moments of awe and wonder. Maura helps me find that balance where I feel cared for and my customers receive a more thoughtful, inspired product.
I’ve worked with Maura for many years, but her new offering of Creative Partnerships is truly the way I love to work. Through this process, I feel I’m continually growing into a better version of myself, both in my business and in my life. What a rare and precious gift to receive.
She also has a way of turning my tangle of ideas into pure magic. She keeps me calm, focused, and inspired, while weaving design that delights both me and my audience. Creating with her always feels effortless.
Beyond her own incredible skills, Maura’s network is both expansive and creative. I love that when she knows someone who can support my progress, she connects me with another expert who enhances my vision. She combines artistry with grounded expertise, and her ability to bring clarity, beauty, and direction to every project makes her an invaluable partner.”
