MAIYA was started in 2007, born out of a passion for modern design and an addiction to the Internet.  Capree has a deep love of Victorian-era “fancy lads”, 19th Century anatomy drawings, and tin robots. She grew up in a dusty suburb of Phoenix, AZ, but spent a great deal of her youth reading through her father’s art and design books, as well as accompanying her mother on trips to furniture stores and model home tours.  Shortly after graduating with a BFA in Photography, she discovered her true passion as a design blogger.  Capree currently resides in Utah with her wonderful husband and their miniature schnauzer, Wrigley.  She still likes going through model homes, if for nothing else, their plastic fruit and cookie-scented candles.

You can also find Capree spreading the mod love on GrassrootsModern, 2Modern Design Talk, Curbly, and Wantist.
