I help create remarkable creative businesses for a living…

Wanna have one?

Hey, it’s Maurille

This is where I am supposed to write a compelling story about me so you can fall head over heels in love with me…

But to be honest I’m not famous people material. I’m a total introvert. I’m a mom of two amazing daughters. Best friend to my husband. If you tell me we’ll leave for a trip in 10 minutes.. I’m game. I say ‘yes’ to most adventures that offer no luxury what so ever. I intend to do things my way, so everything takes longer. (i know, i know)

I am a Art School graduate 3 times over. Okay, that part is interesting! And hold a Masters Degree in Art Business. (not being humble any more)Lived in Paris and London for a while. Loved London way better.

Dove into the creative industry 20 years ago and loved the business part of it. (well, who knew) Failed many times and succeeded occasionally. I never understood why nobody at Art School even supplied me with everything I needed to know about starting a creative career… That’s my absolute why!

In addition to my own creative projects—which include two books, 3 patents, a children’s accessories brand that was super fun, started a fashion agency over the weekend one day (both were successful), I started a weekly newsletter that unpacks the processes of humanity’s most extraordinary creative-entrepreneurs—I run a one-woman company called The Escapists: the place to go if your life is boring and use some adventure, stillness in the chaos and fun. (hit it, Jeremy)

Make yourself at home and, please, stay as long as you’d like. I hope you find something here that leaves you feeling inspired.

Yours,

Maurille

My to do list:

Let my ideas run wild. Take that long overdue trip with my family. Share my vision with the world. Write that book or two. Create the work that I’ve been dying to create. Do what feels good. Be me 100% of the time. Travel to that small village that I visited as a child. Make more great memories. Make more Make more Make more. Break some rules & Make things happen!

8 weird facts about me:

  1. I would love to give a TED talk. (anyone?)

  2. I love dancing, rarely do it. Have no idea why?

  3. We’re slowly rebuilding our country house into a dream home. It was beige with flower tiles and vinyl flooring…

  4. I will always find ways to do things my way… it’s just more fun and slower. Ha.

  5. I don’t drink alcohol. It used to make me feel old fashioned now I’m trendy.

  6. I wear mostly black. Love the color. Easy dressing in the morning and looks classy.

  7. I’m introverted and you will never catch me doing a team activity.

  8. I absolutely loath social media. I tried it once, never again. Hell. It bit me in the butt and still recovering from it.

I believe that a new era of doing business and marketing is emerging. One that is no longer only for the loudest voices but fed by creativity and value.

When the world is filled with people, brands and companies all craving for attention, the ones who have the best value will outshine them all. Trends come and go, it’s a quick buck and nothing more.

When you create what you have always intended to create and know how to make a living doing so, you will earn not only the best spot in the house but also will provide the best value for people all around the world & in doing so make the world a better place.
