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

I visited Denmark and Sweden on my very first trip to Europe and fell completely in love with Nordic food, fashion and people. Since then, Copenhagen has had a very special place in my design-loving heart.

In searching for new design inspiration coming out of the city, I found The Apartment DK. This boutique, housed in a restored 18th century apartment, is part furniture showroom, part art gallery, featuring the most extraordinary modern artisans and vintage pieces. It's one of those spaces that is ever evolving. The rooms are curated into rule-breaking installations with colorful furniture pieces and artwork. The space also serves to host discussions and parties for the design community. 

Check out a few of my favorite rooms below & the rest of their collection on 1st Dibs.
