About Us

At MAIA Design Studio, luxury meets craftsmanship to redefine the essence of interior spaces. We craft immersive spatial experiences that are rich in character, authenticity, and intention.

Each project is a thoughtful synthesis of artistry and functionality — elevated by a deep commitment to narrative, detail, and emotional resonance. We are a young, energetic team that draws inspiration from the world around us — constantly observing, questioning, and reinterpreting the familiar through the lens of contemporary design and culture. From nature and geometry to craft, texture, and human behavior, our influences are as diverse as the stories we tell. Our work is driven by a strong sense of place.

We believe that design is most powerful when it’s rooted in its surroundings — shaped by context, culture, and history. This hyper-local approach allows us to create spaces that feel personal, grounded, and distinctly meaningful. From private residences to hospitality and F&B, we bring together strategic thinking and a collaborative approach to shape interiors that transcend the ordinary.

We are inquisitive and innovative, value personal connections.

We are inquisitive and innovative, value personal connections.

Our process begins with curiosity — a desire to listen deeply and look beyond the obvious. With strategy as our compass, we design for connection, context, and clarity.

Maia Design

“My approach is rooted in sensitivity — creating refined, contextual spaces that resonate far beyond aesthetics.”

MAIA represents more than work — it’s my creative grounding. A space where ideas, values, and emotions merge into a design language that feels intuitive, intentional, and deeply connected to people.

There are three words we take seriously:

Values

Artistic Integrity

Upholding the principles of authenticity and originality, valuing the uniqueness and creativity embedded in each crafted piece.

Values

Passion for the Process

Demonstrating a genuine love for the creative process, celebrating the journey of crafting and valuing the time and effort invested in every creation.

Values

Kinship with Craft

Integral to our ethos is working with artists who have a deep connection to their materials and the subtleties within.

Our Mindset

At our studio, we believe that local artists and craftsman are not just collaborators — they are catalysts of culture and imagination. Supporting their creative potential is integral to how we work and what we value.

Their craft brings soul to our spaces, and their perspectives deepen our own understanding of design and storytelling. Whether through commissions, partnerships, or simply acknowledgement, we are committed to uplifting artistic voices. To us, it’s not just about aesthetics — it’s about preserving culture, nurturing creativity, and honouring the hands and minds that shape it.
