About
MAIA. Phonetic Pronunciation: MY-YUH
With a 10-year advertising career, my storytelling, creative strategy, and design thinking expertise bring a unique perspective to interior architecture. My passion lies in creating spaces that are purposeful, sustainable, and emotionally resonant—designed to impact how people feel, connect, and experience the world around them. This lens has shaped my success in my graduate studies and continues to fuel my commitment to designing environments with meaning and lasting impact.
I’m currently open to new opportunities and collaborations. Feel free to connect or reach out at maiahoonan@gmail.com.
