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

Noa Santos, Co-Founder of Homepolish, Works with Dwell Studio Owner to Recreate His Apartment

Noa Santos, of Homepolish interior design fame, collaborated with Dwell Studio owner and creative director, Christiane Lemieux, in the redesign of his high-rise apartment in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. Santos shared his views on home design as an evolutionary process and wanted to play with more colors, patterns, and textures; all very reminiscent of the vibrant neighborhood where he resides. This apartment comes alive with thoughtful pops of color blended with neutral-toned textures and patterns. I absolutely adore the chesterfield sofa in the living room and the red velvet tufted bed. So glamorous in such a sleek and modern space! What is your favorite piece in this home?
