Hi, I'm Maia.

(Pronounced Maya)

I'm a visually obsessed, native New Yorker, who's always searching for the coolest in design, food & travel. 

Over the last 5 years, I left a well established career in healthcare to pursue my passion for design and writing.  This website is my little piece of inspiration, thoughts & adventures as I seek out the most creative spaces  & experiences around the world.

I hope you find this inspiring & share with me what inspires you as well! I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting!

xx,

Maia

7 favorite chairs from around the internet

7 favorite chairs from around the internet

Currently I am obsessed with all things chair related. I say currently, but I think I might always be obsessed with chairs. I'm pretty sure it has to do with not being allowed to sit in my mother's favorite chairs growing up. They are hand carved, super ornate, truly gorgeous pieces of furniture, AKA - members of our family. She would reupholster them every few years and care for the wood carvings delicately. I named them "the forbidden chairs" and would secretly sit on them while eating my ice cream in the summer. I was a rebel, but thankfully, learned the importance of unique handmade furniture & impeccable design! And yes, I am now allowed to sit in them. 

Anyway, these are my top 7 favorites from around the internet!
