Maggie Sage Design

It’s hard to believe we’ll be celebrating the 10th Tampa Pig Jig next weekend. What started as a backyard BBQ to raise money for NephCure in honor of a friend who was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease, has turned into an annual fundraising event that has donated millions of dollars to NephCure.
I designed the logo back in 2011 and have been a design sponsor each year. It’s been an honor to be a part of it.

Birthday card for your gummy bear loving friends & family. This week we’re celebrating a 9.5 and a 37th birthday in our home 🎉🐻

This is the 3rd and final plate in the Staffordshire Pottery-inspired plate assignment. I was inspired by my mom’s pug, George, and our neighborhood peacocks 🦚

This was a special project to take on. It’s a new logo for the neighborhood I grew up in and now live in 🏡 The community was established in 1959. It has beautiful, Grand Oak-lined streets and is built around the lovely Lake Carroll. The 925 homes in the neighborhood are represented by 925 leaves on the tree in the logo 🌿🦚

This is another Staffordshire-inspired plate design I created for an illustration class assignment. It depicts my mom, aka Mimi, and her pug, George 🦮🦚

This is a logo I designed for Nuvolé Rooftop TwentyTwo rooftop bar above the AC Hotel & Residence in Charlotte, NC 🥂

Hi friends. Thanks for the love yesterday. This is my intro post. My name is Maggie Sage Shaffer. I’m 40 years old (no longer eligible for a 40 under 40 🥇😆) I’m a wife, mom to 3 and self-employed illustrator & designer.
The Polaroid is a picture of me in 1986 holding a kindergarten “what I want to be when I grow up” project and a well-loved Cabbage Patch doll named Noelle. Happy to report I am a mom and an artist now and am very thankful for this life 🤍

I updated my portfolio site to include more illustration work. This plate design is a piece from a fun illustration class I'm currently taking. The inspiration is Staffordshire pottery 🐆🐆🐆

Weekend edge painting was a success!

New Maggie Sage Design business cards are hot off the letterpress. I'm going to try a new edge painting technique on them this weekend.
