Maple Leaf Creative offers businesses of all sizes a distinctive experience in marketing strategy and implementation. We provide a cost-efficient and faster alternative to larger, traditional advertising agencies, without all the pricey overhead charges.
Maple Leaf Creative can serve as an extension of an in-house team, or as a turnkey resource for delivering any sized marketing project from start to finish. We keep our core team small to promote very close communication with our clients, and among ourselves. And we don't assign unnecessary personnel or processes to bog things down or increase our clients' costs.
"Fast, cheap, or good" is no longer a paradox. Maple Leaf Creative delivers -- on target, on time, and on budget.
I created Blue River Productions in 1995 with the intent to produce a musical inspired by the soulful, acapella jazz of the Golden Gate Quartet. It was a seven year journey that culminated in productions in Cardiff, Wales and Baltimore Maryland, but along the way, to gain the knowledge, experience, and relationships I needed, I began working with some of Broadway's finest General Managers and Producers.

Since moving to Albuquerque, NM in 2011, I have produced and managed no less than 17 large-scale events and festivals including the Southwest Chocolate & Coffee Fest which attracts over 140 vendors and 17,000 attendees each year. I have worked with over 600 vendors, a multitude of corporate sponsors, and a quickly growing list of entertainers and contractors, throughout 9 different venues on both state and city owned properties. I have successfully produced domestic and international corporate events, large-scale public festivals, fundraisers, weddings, original plays and musicals, film shoots, live music events and the occasional pet fashion show.
