Maya aspires to create her own brand one day but for now she is doing what she loves which is creating content. which is why it is no surprise that she has an addiction to her camera and is in a constant search for her next muse to capture. but if she's not behind a lens then you will usually see her posting on social media (another love of hers) about a spontaneous road trip, painting on the beach or eating with friends.
