Meet Molly.
THE MK IN MKD
Hi, I'm Molly Kruse—Wifey, Mama, Fractional Creative Integrator, Designer, and unabashed lover of dogs, houseplants, & EOS.
On an average day, you will find me helping my clients plan, develop and launch creative initiatives ... likely with a matcha late in hand, and a pup (or two) under foot.
My Journey: My path to founding MKD was sparked by a desire to break free from the creative confines of the corporate world and to pursue my musings on my terms. This labor of love is not just about design; it's about crafting a holistic creative experience that elevates and empowers businesses and entrepreneurs alike.
Setting Entrepreneurs, like you, up to win.
IT'S IN MY DNA
In our home, entrepreneurship isn't just a career choice—it's a way of life. My husband, an accomplished entrepreneur with multiple successful ventures under his belt and a valued member of EO, shares this journey with me. Together, we navigate the highs and lows of business ownership, each venture enriching our collective experience and perspective.
Beyond the studio walls, my commitment to the entrepreneurial spirit extends into my active involvement with the Entrepreneur's Origination (EO) in St. Louis. As the Spousal / Life Partner (SLP) Chair, I am deeply invested in fostering a supportive community where entrepreneurs and their partners can thrive together.
This involvement underscores my belief in collaboration, support, and continuous growth—not just for myself and MKD but for the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem in St. Louis and beyond. It's about creating a synergy that uplifts everyone involved, mirroring the collaborative spirit we embody at Molly Kruse Design.
The first round is on me.
Molly is a consummate professional. Tenacious and dedicated. A wonderful talent, mindful business owner and has the best follow up with her clients I have ever experienced! I couldn't recommend her any higher.

It's been a pleasure working with Molly. She's kept our projects professionally organized and on track. She has the perfect background for the various marketing and development projects our mid-sized law firm, and EO Chapter needs. We strongly recommend her as a creative integrator!

As an entrepreneur and creative director within the fashion industry, it is often extremely difficult trying to translate and convey my vision. Finding an someone who just "GETS IT" can be the hardest part of creating effective digital content. I have worked in the fashion industry for more then 20 years.
Molly has blown my mind, with her ability to understand what I need, and execute from there. I would highly recommend her to whomever maybe looking for an extension of themselves, within the Fashion industry, or otherwise.

Molly has worked for four of my businesses creating beauty and clarity in our marketing. She does an amazing job of listening to what we want and then turning that into something workable, relatable, and frankly, beautiful. It can be so hard to find someone who "gets" what you are trying to describe, but she is a great listener and takes the time to make sure she understands your project. I hope to have an ongoing relationship with Molly and continue to have her help with all of my design and marketing needs.
