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

Inspiration from a Finnish Textile Designer

Inspiration from a Finnish Textile Designer

I was reading Sight Unseen this past week, in search of some new inspiration, and came across the incredible work of a textile designer from Finland, Reeta Ek.

Her work left me in awe of how she has built her own company while breaking the traditional rules of textile design. I love the Scandinavian aesthetic and how these textiles can be seen and used as abstract pieces of art. 

How would you use these gorgeous textiles?!
