We had the good fortune of connecting with Maya Myeko and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maya, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My thought process behind starting my own business was , i want to make clothes that make women feel as beautiful and empowered as i feel when i wear the clothes i make. i want to create clothes that stand out that make everyone in the room turn heads when you walk through the door. fashion is my muse it makes me so happy. AS far as my skin care line my tought process was i healed my skin off of natural remedies and a natural healthy diet and wanted to share that with others when yo take care of yourself life becomes so much more beautiful. my events buisness stemmed from me wanting to have fashion shows and concerts

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I use Art to reveal the way i view life , I find so much beauty in nature and the way the world works the colors the natural order the natural patterns on plants and animals the deep blue pigment in the ocean everything. everything inspires me. It was not easy getting where i am today but life brought me here all the things i have experienced rather it was good or bad i used as fuel to drive me to where i am and that’s how you make the best out of life ! I learned there is a divine balance in life the good and the bad , the good is in place to balance the bad and the bad is in place to balance the good never take anything personal life is always happening for you not to you !

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to all the cool tourist attractions. i would find cool art events to go to. i would plan a popup shop for us to be at

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
