ABOUT ME & NEWS
I’m Maya, and I am a filmmaker, artist, and actor.
I started acting in 8th grade when Tim Wright cast me as Haydee Sanabria in Annie Thom’s play, With Their Eyes. Tim was a fantastic teacher and an incredible human who had a significant impact on me. After high school, I attended CalArts, graduating with a BFA in theatre. I also studied at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford. I highly recommend Pimm’s #6 if you ever find yourself at a bar in Oxford.
I have been creating fiber arts, including rugs, pillows, quilts, and jewelry, for several years. I started my business, Kitschy Bitz, in 2020, and you can find my work at local art festivals. You can also contact me directly for commissions.

I started drawing houses lost in the Los Angeles fires, and my work was shown at Raven Gallery LA. You can find more information about my LOST HOME PROJECT here, and if you or anyone you know lost their home in the Palisades or Altadena, please reach out to me. I also did my first Podcast interview with Steve Silverman on his excellent World Gone Good Podcast about the project. PBS SoCal featured me on their Instagram about the project.
BIG NEWS! I am thrilled to report that I have signed with the PETER KALLINTERIS AGENCY! Peter and his team are an exceptional group of professionals, and I look forward to working with them.
I just finished a fun and intense film, Spades, with director Johnny Yong Bosch. You can watch the trailer here.
During the COVID lockdown, I took myself on a 48-state solo van trip. You can catch my adventure on my TikTok.
