Smart design for solopreneurs,
and non-profits on a mission.
Whether you are a savvy entrepreneur or a big-hearted do-gooder, cohesive and organized marketing materials signal to your audience your professionalism and passion. Maple & Main helps clients further their business goals by asking a TON of questions, mind-mapping (trust us, it’s fun!), and sharing progress every step of the way.
EDITORIAL IDENTITY: The Greater Worcester Community Foundation
We partnered with the Foundation to create a custom visual system, visual standards guide for communications staff, custom annual report photography, and dynamic layout.

there would be no reason to paint."

— KIND WORDS —
"Katye and Joe transformed our visual identity in a way I could never have envisioned. I regularly receive compliments on our new logo and website. Hiring a professional, objective and creative team – and letting them do their thing – was something I'd recommend to any organization. The process was structured, but also easy-going and a lot of fun."
—Dale Perkins, Mesa Farm
Our Work.
What makes us different is our roots. Journalists from the beginning of our careers, telling stories is in our muscle memory. With each project, our aim is to put words and pictures in their best order, translating your story into a cohesive visual message.
BRAND IDENTITY
Your logo is the soul of your brand. It's your spirit animal,
your 1,000-word picture, and your elevator pitch—all
rolled into a highly-communicative and attractive bundle.
Sounds easy, right? We help you mind-map (with words)
what can only be said with shapes and pictures.
LAYOUT, PUBLICATIONS & WEB
Putting words and pictures in their best order
can often be a challenge – for small businesses especially.
Let us help expertly typeset and layout your next
company communication, establish your web presence,
or renew your current digital assets.
POSTERS & EVENTS
Announcements, menus, banners, promotions,
letterhead, business cards, custom patterns ...
All the marketing collateral!
SERVICES
From creation of your creative brief, to going live with your new design, our "door" is always open. We can help launch and establish new brands, and refresh existing ones. We work with clients to define what your needs are (or are not), and support business goals with logo, website, publication, packaging and social media assets. No project is too small.

"Katye and Joe took the time to learn about my business and its mission. While very professional, my website is simultaneously quite personal. Their work captures not only the product, but the passion behind it."
—David Lewis, Boxwood Preservation
"Working with Katye was such a fun and engaging process! She took the time to truly understand what I do, and used her talent and creativity to create a brand that perfectly captured my new business. I am thrilled with the results and look forward to working with Maple and Main in the future."

FEATURED PROJECT
This rebrand was for a Mid-Atlantic music school, performance venue and non-profit organization. The project goal was to "reign in" existing mis-matched marketing materials with a cohesive voice, and to create new print collateral, merchandise, website and social media tiles.
Let's get to work!
