Hi friends, I'm Maya, mum of 2 girls, dreamer, designer and believer in the mood-boosting power of colour.
From the age of 12, I knew I wanted to work in the design industry and create beauty that touched people's lives. Inspired by Tricia Guild, Laura Ashley and Cath Kidston, I studied Interior Design and later earned a Masters in Textiles & Surface pattern, before starting my career with the acclaimed Laura Ashley as an Interior Designer in London. It was there that I fell in love with classic British style, and began weaving my own personality - a dual heritage, a love of joyful colour and a belief that our homes can be a reflection of who we truly are.
When I became a mum, my focus shifted to raising my daughters but the dream never left me. In 2021, I finally took the leap, determined to live by example and show my girls that no dream is ever too far out of reach. And so, Mayajoy was born.
Mayajoy is more than colourful homeware. It's an invitation to slow down, to savour the now, to gather around the table and to celebrate the joy that's found in everyday moments. Whether through food stories, colour-drenched design or the small rituals of home. I believe joy is always within reach.
Thank you for supporting our family led, joy-first brand that believes colourful homeware has the power to uplift, inspire and connect us all. Every sale and interaction is a pinch me moment, realising that our dreams have helped bring a little joy to your day.
Here's to meals that linger a little longer, cakes baked just because and homes that hold laughter and love. Lots of love, Maya x
