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

LRNCE: Belgian Inspired Modern Textiles & Accessories Out of Marrakesh

LRNCE: Belgian Inspired Modern Textiles & Accessories Out of Marrakesh

I'm pretty obsessed with LRNCE, a textile line founded in Marrakesh by Belgian designer, Laurence Leenaert. LRNCE creates both home and fashion textiles and accessories, while blending inspiration from traditional tribal rituals and the modern aesthetic of Belgian design. This line is graphic and fun, a perfect visual pick-me-up from the winter weather in NYC right now. 

Designed with modern lines and shapes while using traditional techniques, LRNCE is perfect for the modern world traveler. These embroidered rugs and hand painted ceramics are absolutely incredible, plus they make for an amazing Instagram photo. Not to mention, Leenaert's vibrant photography has totally inspired my next trip to Morrocco. 

Stay tuned on my top picks for the perfect stay in Marrakesh!
