Welcome to Made by Maya, and if you couldn’t already tell, I am Maya. By supporting my shop, you are supporting young, queer, disabled, hispanic, and native creators- so you can check a lot of moral boxes with just one purchase! I have been active in Malden’s community since I was a kid, and have always been into the creative arts and making things. I love to use my hands, and is also a great way to keep busy on a low energy day.
When I am not teaching, nannying, or making, I can probably be found at some sort of medical office, handling one of my many issues. I have been diagnosed with many health issues, most of them stemming from one main genetic disease- Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.
For more information about any of these conditions, head to the resources page! I understand how overwhelming the process of navigating a new diagnosis is, and I can provide some good starting points, and websites that I have found most helpful. Please remember I am not an expert, this is just what has been helpful to me personally as I entered the chronic illness world.
