Maya Maldonado
Project Architect
Originally from Brazil, Maya discovered her passion for architecture as she was growing up, surrounded by a family of carpenters. Her family’s love for building and creating things is also instilled in her; it's the reason she pursued her career as an architect. She received her Bachelor’s in Architecture and Urbanism in 2015 from Faculdades Integradas de Ourinhos and moved to the United States in 2017 for further professional development.
Maya’s work in residential and commercial remodeling is inspired by her creativity; incorporating different colors, textures and patterns into her designs. She can’t wait to see her ideas turn into reality and to help our clients live, work, and play better in their new space.
Did you know that Maya can impressively speak three different languages!? She is fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese! During her free time she also loves to sew and craft, a skill that was taught to her by her grandma.
