What my clients are saying…

(I love to promote and gush about all of them too.)

 
I can’t speak highly enough of working with Maura. On top of being an incredible joy of a human to get the chance to interact with, Maura has been our main and most reliable go-to resource anytime Osprey needs to scale our design resources up during peak production seasons. She has been able to take on a wide variety of graphic design projects for us with very little oversight or edits needed throughout any project. I would highly recommend Maura for anyone looking for a great design partner for their brand.
— Vince Mazzuca | Director of Marketing, Osprey Packs, Inc.

Maura can take a concept, find its essence and turn it into exceptional design. She listens closely to a brief and works hard to understand what the client hopes to achieve before setting off to work, saving revisions and time. She nailed the Salida 76 concept, which helped fuel merchandise sales way beyond expectations. Her work on the Triple Bypass poster brought new elegance to our brand. Maura is a gem, and I highly recommend her services.
— Jennifer Barbour, Executive Director, Team Evergreen Cycling

I have had the utmost pleasure of working with Maura for the last 5 years. I literally do not know what I would do without her! She ALWAYS goes above and beyond what is expected, she always thinks of the things you don’t, she has impeccable taste and gives feedback in the most amazing way possible. She is not only an expert at graphic design, but she excels at seeing the big picture of what her job is and how that will in every way elevate the brand and thus the customer experience. I rely on her for so much more than a design as she really has a holistic approach to her work. Her timing is impeccable and her professionalism unmatched. I cannot say enough about her!
— Christine Ruch | Owner, Fresh Thymes Eatery & Marketplace

I was nervous about getting a brand refresh, but I knew if I could trust anyone, it was Maura.

That said, I was still absolutely blown away by what she created for me. Not only does it feel 100% me (and no idea how she managed that considering the random references I gave her, including “I dream of Jeanie”) and 100% professional, it’s been so easy to play, experiment and implement into all my visual assets. It’s getting loads of interest, and I know that’ll convert to more leads and sales over time. Maura is truly 1 of a kind. If you want schmick design full of personality that’s completely original, she’s your woman.
— Susan Reoch, UX Writer & Copywriter

I worked with Maura during a time when my lead designer had to unexpectedly step away from his responsibilities for a couple of weeks. We were right in the middle of a huge project for Mercedes prepping all of the print collateral for their VIP clients attending the Masters golf tournament. The job was complicated, design and copy heavy with constant rounds of revisions coming in from the client. Maura stepped in seamlessly and dealt with the demands of this client with confidence and a smile. What a sign of relief I breathed checking her designs and realizing that the client wasn’t even going to know that I had a temporary change in personnel. Stepping into a project mid stream and picking up right where someone else left off is the sign of a true professional. I let Maura interact directly with my clients. That sort of trust is not easily won. It comes as a result of her earning my confidence in her design and interpersonal skills. Maura is also fluent in all the programs we use and has a great eye. She is not a mere technician, she is a designer who is using computer programs to express her design sensibility — and to great effect.
— James Benard | President and Creative Director, Benard Creative

In addition to creating absolutely gorgeous work, Maura has completely changed how we approach our biggest marketing project — our annual magazine. Her ability to organize and manage a large, multi-week project is phenomenal, as is her commitment to delivering on time. On top of it all, Maura easily adapts to a multitude of work styles and creative processes while having the tact and tenacity to keep a diverse team on track. My only regret is that we didn’t start working with her sooner!
— Hennie Kashiwa | General Manager, Boulder Nordic Sport

Working with Maura on my branding was an incredible experience. She made the entire process seamless. It was easy to communicate over the branding options and she was always willingly open to hear my feedback on the direction I wanted my branding to go. I knew on some levels what I wanted going into the early design phase but what I was presented with blew me away. We had a great time collaborating through the process and I ended with a product that I couldn’t love more. I look forward to working with Maura on all my future branding needs.
— Meg Hardy | Owner, Bungalow Interiors

I absolutely adore working with Maura! She is the MOST organized and proactive graphic design contractor that I’ve ever worked with. She has assisted us with web campaigns for Black Friday (Homepage, email, etc.) and a special social media project that ultimately ended up on a tee-shirt and stickers! She is incredibly professional and has met or exceeded all deadlines. In terms of client service, she is equally skilled at executing an existing vision, or helping to create one from scratch. She has elevated our brand with each campaign we have worked on together.
— Janet Ehlers | Owner, Comet Pinball

Maura has a very detailed and creative eye. We haven’t found anything she can’t tackle yet! Not only that but she is timely and keeps us up to date through the whole project. Also, because Maura works for herself, she is very transparent in her pricing and timelines. She is also incredibly efficient and responsive to any and all questions, however mundane or small they may seem.
— Corinne Doctor | Co-Owner, RepYourWater

Working with Maura on a rebranding project for our packaged food business was a fantastic experience. We knew we needed to take our products to the next level and that we needed someone well-versed in graphic design to do so. Maura was efficient, responsive and professional in absolutely every aspect of the project, but what we appreciated most was her ability to ask exactly the right questions to help us understand exactly what we wanted in a design and to make that design fit who we are as a business. When we began, we had no grasp of what our labels should look like, or how to even articulate what we wanted, but Maura patiently asked question after question until she was able to create something that made us say, “Yes...that’s us!” As soon as we rolled out our new design, our customers started remarking on how professional they looked. Maura K Creative will definitely be our go-to for all future design work!
— LeeAnne Sanders | Owner, Lake Hollow Homestead

Maura is an absolute joy to work with, she is confident and beyond capable in her craft. She has vision and works tirelessly to create a stunning product. Maura guided me in a way that made me feel comfortable in having an online presence and taught me so much along the way. Maura worked with a vision of what I wanted, developed a brand and created an online presence that I’m truly in-love with! I get compliments all the time on my website and branding.
— Shawna Todd | Owner, Brod Sky Wellness

In under an hour, Maura fixed all my issues and made all the little warning signs I’d been ignoring in InDesign go away. Plus she taught me a few extra tricks that will literally save me weeks of stress on future projects.
— Michelle Martello | Owner, Minima Designs

Maura is the BEST! She is a total pro, listens well, takes feedback, keeps track of all the details, and is a joy to work with. I highly recommend her!
— Julie Pelaez | Certified Holistic Health Coach, Just Jules Nutrition

We work with Maura K Creative for both our company as well as on client projects. What stands out is Maura’s ability to organize the process and translate our inputs into world class design outputs. Paired with the consistent level of service and professionalism, she gets my highest recommendation.
— Chris Hogan | Managing Partner, GTM Growth Partners

Maura was absolutely fantastic to work with, she took our many ideas and organized them into a product that was far better than our original ideas. Her communication is top notch, and we would recommend her services to anyone seeking graphic design.
— Elana’s Pantry

Maura is one of the best graphic designers I’ve worked with! She’s professional, organized and produces amazing work.
— Jo Schaalman | CEO & Co-Founder of The Conscious Cleanse

Maura has produced beautiful design work for us over the last 6 years. She’s a true professional – easy to work with, insightful, careful – and she really puts her heart into every project. Maura possesses a unique balance of skills – combining creative thinking and artistic talent with strong technical knowledge, attention to detail, and sense of accountability.
— Jim Fox | Managing Partner, VERDI Behavioral Marketing

I love working with Maura. She is so creative and quick. We banter around ideas and she always picks the best path forward. We have worked together on a number of projects now. I am always excited to begin a new project because I know it will turn out gorgeous, even though I cannot envision it — Maura can.
