Meet Our Founder.

This is Maggie, Founder and Creative Director.

MAGGIE IS an idea generator, a solution finder, an unapologetic foodie, a dog lover, a details champion, a bright-side looker, a snack packer, and a go-getter. An admirer of curated experiences, unique menus, “aha!” moments, thoughtful gestures, and the final reveal.

With a beginning in nonprofits, Maggie joined a team managing the planning, logistics, and fundraising of a $3Million+ and 10,000 attendee event in Washington, DC. Following her time on this team, she continued her work in nonprofits, leading her own events in the DC region until it was time to reach into the world of corporate and special events.

Maggie joined the Kendra Scott team as an Events and Community Outreach Manager to manage the local market’s store events, fundraising opportunities, community impact, and whatever else came her way! From building custom jewelry for breast cancer patients and survivors with the Washington Redskins to presenting Lauren Graham with her Washington West Film Festival award in 2018, there was never a dull moment to be had on the Kendra team!

When it was time to move on, Maggie spent some time with a Mid-Atlantic based events and experiences firm, serving as a manager of event planning and logistics for private events, before starting in her role of marketing and event planning for a Northern Virginia based space and defense contractor.

Kind Words

Throughout the campaign Maggie was very communicative and we always felt up to date with all pertinent information.  Whenever we required additional information Maggie was quick to reply and thorough in her response(s).  The day of the event we were extremely impressed with the coordination and level of the detail and care that Maggie had taken to produce such a wonderful experience.   As a family we have participated in many fundraising events, and I can honestly say this was the best run and coordinated campaign that we have experienced!

I cannot sing high enough praises for Maggie—her skills, execution, creative vision and beyond. I've seen her create stunning events even with limited budgets, and I've watched her inspire people with the events she brings to life. She truly is one-of-a-kind. In Cahoots Creatives is a positive force to be reckoned with.

Maggie exudes a wealth of positive energy, leadership qualities, and a strong growth mindset. She’s extremely driven and when her mind is set to a goal, Maggie creatively and efficiently works toward achieving it. She is results-driven, flexible, and focused. One of the first great skills I noticed was Maggie’s ability to connect and network. Maggie is willing to lead initiatives and motivate those around her to not only gain their buy-in, but their long-term commitment as well.

Maggie's leadership on the annual event resulted in one that was better than ever! As an anniversary year for the campaign, Maggie worked to produce a seamless event that was impactful for the attendees, thought through and organized for the volunteers, and recognized as a top performer for fundraising.
Maggie is organized, intuitive, communicates effectively, customer-focused, and creative. She was able to make a yearly routine event special and unique for attendees.
She is a valuable asset to have on your team and truly one of the best people I’ve worked with.
