About Maya

...In an artist family where my father was an ar professor and my mother was an architectural project manager, I was highly influenced by the arts. Therefore, it was natural that I would pursue a bachelor's degree in Arts and Crafts, which was the degree at the time that incorporated aspects of both design and architecture. After graduating at the age of 24,

I co-founded my own company. With my team I was involved in all stages of the design development and construction documents from initial conception and sketches, to design space and renders, to coordinating contractors and re-staging the space. In 2010, I also earned an MBA in Marketing to better learn the business side of design, which furthered the success of my business and helped to expand my firm. Nevertheless, it had always been my heart's desire to obtain a master's degree in Interior Design, so I searched to determine the #1 educational program in this field, which led me to Savannah College of Arts and Design in Atlanta, Georgia. Here I was accepted and received a scholarship. This was the beginning of a new journey in my life, which brought both joy and challenges. Despite my past experience and educational achievements, I followed the call entry position in the High-end showroom. It hands me knowledge and skill in interior design and provides valuable education in design in the United States. However, this created challenges of its own, and I missed personal engagement with clients and the management of projects. Over time, it became clear that my best contribution to the field of Interior Design is to operate my own business where I have the freedom to directly influence the outcome of all aspects of design and installation with quality and integrity.
