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

Jun 23 Colonia Verde Reopens in Fort Greene

Maia Alejandro

Restaurant Design

After a devastating fire in February 2015, Colonia Verde has now reopened in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn. The owners redesigned the interior space and created an all new menu with a focus on sharing. I absolutely love going out with my close friends and sharing a few good plates. There's something so intimate about this, and as they say on the Colonia Verde website, "food (really does) taste better when shared". To top it off, there is a beautiful outdoor space in the back, just in time for summer.

xo, Maia
