Introducing our June Muse of the Month: Maya
Say hello to Maya, a sunshine soul with a love for good coffee, fashion, and content creation. We sat down with her to chat about her go-to cafes, travel wishlist, and of course, the Alana Maria jewels she swears by.
WHAT’S A PIECE OF JEWELLERY YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT?
I can’t live without a bracelet stack or a go-to necklace, they’re my everyday essentials!
WHAT’S YOUR GO-TO COFFEE SPOT?
I’m all about Jack’s Bru in North Bondi for my coffee fix, it’s so good. And of course, I loveee Blackwood for the cutest brunch spot. The vibes there are unbeatable!
WHO OR WHAT INSPIRES YOUR EVERYDAY STYLE?
My everyday style is definitely inspired by people like Amara Riva - she’s always been such a go-to for me. I’m also really influenced by confidence - I think when you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows.
DREAM DESTINATION, & WHAT JEWELLERY WOULD YOU PACK?
Finally ticking off Italy, France, Greece… I’m packing timeless, minimal pieces that feel effortless, and Alana Maria is a must for high quality jewellery. I’ll be bringing stylish rings, statement earrings for dinners, and an everyday necklace for wandering the streets of Europe.
WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY IN YOUR WORK LIFE LOOK LIKE?
A typical day for me involves creating flows and segmentation for different brands, designing campaigns, meeting with clients, and brainstorming new concepts. I’m always strategising how to push campaigns into the market through email marketing. I also block out a couple of hours for content creation, which allows me to focus on producing fresh, engaging material for the brands I work with. It’s a good balance of strategy and creativity, making sure everything flows seamlessly!
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE STARTING IN YOUR INDUSTRY?
My biggest piece of advice for anyone starting in this industry would be to stay curious and never stop learning. The digital landscape is always changing, so being adaptable is key. Don’t be afraid to experiment and make mistakes along the way, that’s where the best learning happens. Also, build genuine relationships with brands and creators you resonate with. Authenticity and consistency will get you far!
