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 figure it out 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 which skills we use depends entirely on what you need since this is fully customized to you.
Sometimes we’ll focus on coaching to untangle what’s in your head, name what you actually want (not what you thought you had to do), and finally uncover what you’ve been trying to say all along. Sometimes we’ll focus on strategy to map out steps, research your market and build a plan that fits your ideal vision for your life.
I’ll be with you every step of the way, helping you prioritize what matters and turn overwhelm into real momentum. Helping you go from “I think I know what I want” to “I’m doing it.” And, we’ll take the pressure off: it doesn’t have to be a grand purpose or a forever thing, it just has to be the next thing to bring joy and contentment.
The best part? We’ll make it 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. We get to evolve.
Who this is for
You don't have to know exactly what you need. You may be thinking:
“I know something needs other change, but I don’t know what.”
“I have all these ideas and I can’t figure out what to do with them.”
“I know what I could do, I just don’t know if it’s what I want to do.”
“I’m tired of following someone else’s playbook. I need something that is designed for me.”
“I can barely take care of myself. I need some relief, and some more balance in my life.”
But you also feel ready:
To be patient, put in the effort, and embrace the adventure (it’s a 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 build something sustainable and create a business around your life
To stay curious and open in the ongoing evolution, because we are forever evolving
What you’ll gain
When you’ve been excited about an idea or plan but unable to find a way forward, your can start to lose energy in the stagnation. Let’s get you moving towards what you want.
Direction: Through deep dives into your vision, goals, and what you want your business (and life) to look like
Decisions: A clear path through the mess that aligns with where you want to see yourself in this next phase
Priorities: A clear idea of what matters, and what doesn’t
Concrete next steps: Not just a plan, but actual next steps that feel very attainable and doable
Accountability: Someone riding beside you that sees your potential and strengths and keeps you focused
Things crossed OFF the list: No more someday. Things actually started. Movement actually happening.
Change begins now: Space, freedom, alignment, fulfillment, joy, contentment — whatever you most desire, we’ll find a way to start bringing it into your life now, even while we’re working through it
How we’ll work together
It all starts with you, not your business. What do you want your days to look like? What do you most value? What do want to bring to life? We’ll get to the heart of it.
Creative Partnerships often reveal what needs to be made, like branding, a website or collateral. If and when you’re ready for that step, we can bring in Creative Projects.
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 to fit your ideal vision and capacity for your life and business
Creative direction: If you’ve started building creative projects by yourself, with AI, or another designer, I’ll tap into my 20 years of design and marketing experience to give you direction to make it more pro and ready to launch
Tech support: If you need help choosing and implementing 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.
What it looks like
Investment: $1500 per month
Partnerships take a lot of brain and heart, so a limited number are available per year.
Four 90-minute Zoom sessions
Email support Monday through Friday for questions, gut checks and a place to share the good news in real time
Scheduled accountability check-ins through email to keep you on track
A shared workspace with AI notes from our calls and any work-in-progress documents or task lists you can reference any time
One month to start, but if we’re building strong momentum (as most partnerships do) we can absolutely continue beyond the initial term
“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, 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 60-minute Creative Partnership Session can help you work through the immediate question and get you back to progress, or help solidify the direction and strategy for a new creative project.
It's wellness + business + creative coaching and consulting session for solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who need a vision for where they’re headed, and the confidence and momentum to start making it happen.
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.”
