I always want to use art to make a positive impact on the world, to raise the vibration, and to bring inspiration or awareness to a cause. I do this across all of my passions, from my eco-friendly fashion brand Maya’s Ideas that I started in 2008, to my animation, including in 2016 during the Obama administration when I was asked to animate the opening of the first ever digital report presented to Congress and the report was created to get an American museum of women’s history built in Washington. Everything I do and take on is creative and makes a positive difference.

"A big way I express love is uplifting other people’s passions. People’s passions and dreams are always safe with me. I always want to encourage their love of what they care about because what the care about is who they are."
