About Maya
Maya designs websites for people who have something worth saying and no patience for being talked over by their own website. Her work leans editorial: strong type, generous space, photography given room to breathe.
Before joining the studio she designed for a publishing house and two hospitality groups, which is where she learned that a menu and a book cover have the same job as a homepage. She works closely with our writers so the design and the words arrive together rather than fighting.

Client words
“My publisher's site was fine and completely useless. Sabine helped me build a list of readers who are actually mine. When the new book went up for pre-order, 4,000 people heard about it in one morning.”

“They fixed the things nobody notices until they're broken — the menu on a phone, the reservation flow, the Google listing. Our regulars stopped asking us for the PDF. That's a strange thing to be grateful for, but here we are.”
Hana Ito · The Quiet Table
