Tell us about yourself.
Start with the basics. This information will appear on your public Maven profile.
We use your zip to show your location on the map — your exact address is never shown.
Select all that apply — many Mavens cross multiple areas.
This shows on your directory card — keep it short and clear (4–6 words).
Comma-separated. These appear as tags on your profile — be specific and generous. This is where your full range shines.
Select all that apply. Many Mavens teach across multiple levels.
One sentence. The line that captures your relationship to your practice — not your credentials. Shows above your bio on your profile.
Minimum 100 words. This is what people read before they message you — make it real.
Your background.
Help us get to know your practice. We read every application personally — no automated filters, no credential checklist.
A portfolio link, Instagram, Etsy shop, or any place where we can see your work.
How many years have you been practicing? There's no minimum — depth matters more than duration.
We'll reach out to your references after reviewing your application. They should be people who can speak to your expertise and character — former students, collaborators, mentors, or fellow practitioners.
Almost there, Maven.
One last section. Tell us how you'd like to work, and confirm your agreement to the platform terms.
This will be visible on your profile. You can always update it later. Leave blank if you prefer to discuss rates directly.
I confirm that all information I've provided is accurate and truthful. I understand that misrepresentation will result in removal from the platform.
I understand that listing on Mavens is free during the beta period. I'll be notified of any changes before they take effect.
I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and I consent to Mavens contacting my references on my behalf.
