About Us

A Note From Our Founder

A few years ago, my father had a serious stroke. The medical part was hard enough. What we weren't prepared for was the rest.

We had a will. We had a power of attorney. We thought that meant we were ready.

What we didn't have was a list of his bills, his bank accounts, the subscriptions on autopay, the logins, the recurring transfers. In his generation, the men handled all of that — leaving my mother, my sister, and me to reverse-engineer a life we'd never seen the back end of.

That is the gap The Intentional Maven was built to close.

I've spent two decades building and selling businesses. This one came from need, not opportunity — from a hospital waiting room, a stack of unpaid bills, and the quiet realization that if I didn't build it, no one in our family would have known where to start.

I designed these products for anyone who's arrived at the moment of thinking, it's time. I'm honored to walk this path with you.

A Companion for Life's Most Meaningful Seasons

The Intentional Maven makes beautiful planners and guided frameworks for people who believe that living well and preparing well are the same thing — that getting ready is itself a form of caring.

Whether you're organizing for peace of mind, gathering your story for the people you love, or simply wanting to live with more intention, you're in the right place.

Our Philosophy

We're not a productivity brand. We're a companion brand.

Productivity is about doing more. We're about choosing what matters most — and making the act of organizing it feel less like a chore and more like care. The work of preparing isn't morbid or overwhelming. It's one of the most loving things you can do for the people who'll come after, and for yourself while you're here to enjoy the clarity.

What Guides Everything We Make

Guided, Not Blank. Every product includes prompts, sections, and frameworks. You're never staring at an empty page wondering where to start.

Made to Keep. Linen covers, premium paper, binding built to last. Designed to live on a shelf, not in a drawer.

Born from Experience. Created by someone who's needed these products herself — and built them because no one else had.

Helping you organize life's most important details.
