About maia

Maia Schoenfelder is a native New Yorker and highly organized multihyphenate who has always put her editorial and visual skills together to tell compelling stories.

After graduating from Connecticut College in 2013 with a BA in criminal psychology and a minor in photography, Maia went on to write, photograph, and manage social media accounts full-time for Capsule Show, BPMW Agency, Teen Vogue, and Snapchat's first digital publication, Sweet.

For the past 10+ years, Maia has worked as a copywriter, editor, content creator, and social media manager turned consultant, with brands such as Hearst, Amex, Harry’s Inc., and WeWork.

Additionally, in 2017, Maia joined her mother’s furniture company, Smilow Design, initially as a consultant and currently as co-owner. She works with her father and brother to produce, market, and sell American-made furniture originally designed by her grandfather Mel Smilow.

After working in the design world for the last 8 years, Maia took on a gut-renovation where she sourced, designed, and managed the project from start to finish. The result was a new interest in curating interiors and helping others go through the renovation process smoothly.
