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

Interior Styling with Hermes Ashtrays

Interior Styling with Hermes Ashtrays

For years I've been obsessed with restaurant and hospitality design and one night a friend gave me a restaurant matchbook with a gorgeous design she knew I would love. I've been collecting these ever since! 

Collections are natural conversation starters and a perfect way to inject some individuality into your space. I style my collection of matches on ashtrays in my living room, and have thus grown into a great love for the always popular, Hermes ashtrays. These ashtrays are beautiful printed porcelain with a velvet goatskin base. 

estilo S T Y L I N G  T I P: Corral all of your collection's pieces together to create a visual impact. 

What kind of collections do you own?
