Maple Shipp

Maple is a director and award-winning film creative with over a decade years of experience in creative direction, production, and post-production. She specializes in directing emotional storytelling and family content, and leads teams for both live action and animated productions.

She started her film career as an editor and motion designer before shaping branded content as an Art Director at Meta, then as a Creative Director at TBWA\Chiat\Day NY. Now, as a full-time director, she's been trusted by brands such as Hilton, The Home Depot, Ethos, Florida's Natural, and Pocono Whitewater, one of the largest outdoor adventure companies in the United States. 

Today, she draws on that full spectrum of experience — across editing, design, directing, and creative leadership — to guide teams in producing content that's resonant and deeply human. She's comfortable directing for both big and small screens, and has worked with celebrities such as Boomer Esiason and influencers such as Whitney Allen and Hilton Carter. Maple's directing philosophy is simple: keep the vibes good and the environment prepped for real emotion — because no matter the brand or subject matter, she can be counted on to inject the material with heart.
