The Studio
Multi-Talented, Passionate, Woman-Owned Design Business
I’m passionate about focusing on the details and turning people's ideas into reality!
Hi, I’m Shelby, the owner and creative mind behind Maple Projects, LLC. As a multi-passionate artist, designer, entrepreneur, and author, I run a growing indie design business. I believe great design should be accessible to small businesses, indie authors, and anyone working tirelessly to pursue their dreams—without breaking the bank. My passion is bringing ideas to life through my creative talents, and I’m here to help people like you kickstart your career, refresh your brand, or get discovered through professional design services. While my studio might have a dark, moody vibe with a love for velvet pillows and dirty martinis, I promise the experience will be fun and exciting as we work together to bring your vision to life.
TESTIMONIALS
Shelby was my first investment in my business back in 2013, and I’m proud to continue working with her on branding, graphics, and design. She instantly understands my vision and brings her own clear, strong design to every project—from books and magazines to merchandise. I would recommend her to anyone needing design support. She cares deeply about her clients.

Ekaterina Popova,

When hiring for any design project, you typically are in one of two situations: you have a concrete idea in mind and need someone to execute it or you have some inklings of what you like and don't like, but not of what you want exactly. While Shelby can easily help you with the former, the latter scenario is where she thrives. From magazine layouts to logos and book covers for multiple of my and my business partner's ventures, it was as though she could intuitively sense the visions in our minds and then translate them into the finalized designs of our dreams - pure magic!

Shelby is a wonderful designer! Not only is she easy to work with, but she is a master of several different art styles which is hard to find in an artist. She can sketch, do art nouveau style, and realism. She’s amazing!
