I believe you are not one thing. You contain multitudes: the version of you that needs silence and the one that needs to tear up a dance floor, a human that craves an evening that asks everything of you and the afternoon that gives it all back. You save things too: the ring from a trip with your grandmother when you were little, a line scribbled on a napkin, a recipe from an old magazine. And you find beauty where nobody else thinks to look: in a painting in a museum nobody visits; a menu from a restaurant that closed in 1987; a wrong turn that took you somewhere better.
Your events should reflect all of that. Not the curated, trend-driven version of you, the actual you. Specific, layered, a little unusual, deeply alive.
I design experiences and events that linger not because they were perfect or beautiful, but because they felt like something. Because they were built with meaning, from the full rotation of who you are.
That's why I’m here: to help you make and design something worth keeping.

Me!
I'm Maggie. For 17 years, I've been making things that try to make people feel something. Be it brand work, content for different mediums, short films and essays, commercial campaigns, or events for clients, I care deeply that the interior work and meaning of the work matches what it shows to the world. I’m trained in the art of creative direction and event design.
I started Maggie Sinclair because the work I love doing most always comes back to the same thing: creating tangible moments of feeling: the wedding that didn’t feel like a Pinterest board, but like a real representation of the couple; the company retreat that broke open a team and helped them solve systemic issues; the dinner that turned strangers into friends who exchanged numbers in the parking lot. I want to do that work on my own terms, for people who understand that the way a moment feels is part of what it means, and that that experience lasts much longer than an image for social media.
I work from Los Angeles, Chicago, and Mid-coast Maine. These three places have taught me different things about hosting and they’re where I call home for different parts of the year.
I'm a new mother, a relentless creator of recipes, homemade postcards, paint color schemes, and a journal keeper (the lines I overhear at restaurants in LA are gold!). I’ve made my own web series for Vimeo, directed commercials for Fortune 500 Brands and well-known companies like HBO, A24, and Amazon Prime. I’m an avid reader who buys too many books but somehow manages to finish most of them. I’m a Type A planner but Type B person, who can run a 200-person event and still notice the candle that's burned a half-inch lower than the others. I'm good at: asking questions most people don't think to ask. Listening. Reading a room. Translating "I don't know what I want" into a fully realized concept. Holding the big picture and the smallest detail at the same time. And, I’m truly great at making the people in front of me feel known. It’s my speciality.
