FRACTIONAL CREATIVE & BRAND DIRECTOR
Your brand, led with clarity and consistency — without hiring full-time
I work with founder-led businesses to bring structure and alignment to their brand — so every touchpoint builds trust and attracts the right people.
The business is growing — but too much still depends on you.
You might recognize yourself here:
You know your role should be more visionary — but creative direction still runs through you.
Messaging and visuals feel inconsistent across your site, decks, and marketing.
You’ve invested in design or marketing before, but it never quite became a repeatable system.
Your website and marketing aren't clearly supporting sales or retention.
You have the pieces. What’s missing is the through-line.
Your website, campaigns, and marketing all exist — but without a clear structure connecting them, nothing quite builds on anything else.
That's what we fix together with clear creative direction guiding how everything connects.
CLIENT WORK FEATURED IN
We start with what matters most.
Most founders arrive with one area that feels most urgent — an outdated website, scattered messaging, or marketing that isn’t functioning as a system.
From there, some begin with a focused project, while others step into a more integrated partnership. We’ll help you determine which approach makes the most sense based on where you are now.
Fractional Creative & Brand Direction

Who you’re partnering with
I'm Maura — a Fractional Creative & Brand Director for founder-led businesses navigating their next stage of growth.
I've worked inside Fortune 500 companies, alongside founder-led businesses, and spent a decade running my own. That path is what shaped how I think — and how I work.
I started inside a large national brand, working in marketing and category development. It gave me a strong foundation in strategy, positioning, and what it takes to support a growing business well.
Some of the most meaningful lessons came later. I spent over a decade co-owning a yoga studio and therapeutic practice — a fully operational business with staff, memberships, physical spaces, and a community we genuinely cared for. I learned what it means to wear every hat, make decisions with incomplete information, and shape experiences people can feel. That season changed how I see brands entirely.
Today, I bring both of those worlds into my work. I understand the strategic structure a growing business needs, and I know what it feels like to be the founder holding so much of it together. The people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and deeply invested in what they’re building. They need a partner who can hold the bigger picture, help them move forward with clarity, and make sure what they’re building connects and compounds over time.
That background also shapes how I guide brand decisions. I pay attention not only to what makes sense strategically, but to what feels genuinely aligned — what reflects who they are, supports how they want to lead, and can be sustained as the business grows. Often, the strongest decisions are not just the ones that look right from the outside. They’re the ones a founder can fully stand behind.
As a business grows, clarity becomes more valuable.
A Strategy Session is where we look at what’s evolving, what feels misaligned, and what kind of support will help your brand, website, and marketing move forward in a more connected way.
