Nice To Meet You!
I’m Maya, your go-to graphic designer and photographer with a love for all things creative. My journey with photography started back in my freshman year of high school. I fell in love with capturing moments, but didn’t initially see it as a career path. Seeking stability, I pursued design and quickly realized I was just as passionate about the creative process there too.
It wasn’t long before photography pulled me back in during my sophomore year of college. Now, I’m about to graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and an Associate’s in Photography; two sides of the same creative world that fuel my work today.
MY TOP SIX
1. I love nature photography and running through fields for your photoshoot, but have the deepest hatred for all bugs. Sorry in advance to all the bug lovers!
2. For the longest time I actually thought I wanted to be an architect (My first internship was with one!). Now the only thing I want to do with architecture is build my own tiny house someday.
3. I LOVE dogs. I wasn’t a small dog person and then somehow I ended up with two in my family, and now they are my pride and joy. Meet Olive in the square frame :)
4. I am a mac and cheese connoisseur. If I had to be dairy free I don’t know what I would do. I could eat it every day, but maybe that is just the picky girl talking.
5. I love concerts!! If I was rich that is what I would spend most of my money on. My favorite concert so far has been The Lumineers, but Pitbull is a close second. I love folk and alternative music the most.
6. I could not leave this just as a top five because I am an OCD girly. Even numbers all the way!! All this means is that your projects will be perfect to my standards, no trash left on the beach portraits and now extra pixels left in your logo.
Beyond the career side of things, I’m someone who’s always creating. Whether it's designing a backyard garden (bugs aside!) or diving into passion projects, I’m happiest when I'm making something beautiful. I created Soul Tied because I wanted to bring in the warmth and passion from my mindset into the photography and design world.
If any of this resonates with you, I have a feeling we’re going to have an absolute blast working together. Check out my services to keep up this energy :)
