Creative + edgy designs that deliver results.

If you're here, you're looking for more than a designer — you need someone who gets it. 

Maverick Studios helps agricultural-based non-profit organizations deliver messaging and marketing information to their members through clear, engaging design. I also work with small to medium-sized businesses that need smart branding solutions to build strong customer loyalty. 

I’m Michelle, and I own this company. I'm a design and communications strategist with a journalism background and a knack for cutting through noise. I do more than make things look good. I make them work. Whether it’s a brand that needs clarity, a message that needs sharpening, or a campaign that needs lift-off, I can help you find the right story and bring it to life across platforms. My superpower? Seeing both the big picture and the nitty-gritty at once, so we don’t just “make a brochure,” we build a strategic asset that supports your goals. 

If you want a design partner who challenges assumptions, asks hard questions, and helps you do better, not just more, you’re in the right place.

We start off on the right foot with a Brand Roundup, a high-impact workshop session designed to help small businesses and nonprofits find clarity, fix what’s not working, and connect with the right people. You’ll get real talk, strategic insight, and a custom-built Trail Map outlining exactly where your brand is stuck — and how to move forward. No fluff, no filler, just a practical, done-for-you roadmap you can run with (on your own or with Maverick Studios). The Brand Roundup replaces traditional free meetings and proposals with a paid strategy session where we find out where you are in your business, where you want to go, and then map out a way for you to get there.

After that, I'm here to help you on that journey with some signature packages that we can get you saddled up and ready to ride within days — not weeks or months. That's no bull.
