I’m Maya, and I bring a science-led lens to storytelling—helping founders, thought leaders, and brands in beauty, wellness, and health unlock their voice through ghostwriting, brand messaging, and editorial strategy that’s as evidence-driven as it is emotionally resonant.

I’m currently available for consulting engagements.

Based in the Bay Area, my writing is shaped by a personal healing journey and a deep respect for science. This dual lens of introspection and evidence-based thinking informs how I tell stories. I approach each project with curiosity, clarity, and a commitment to honoring both lived experience and credible insight. My work is shaped by a rare blend of disciplines: 

  • A master’s degree in cosmetics and dermopharmacy 

  • Global experience working across start-ups and large corporates bringing brands and products to life

  • Hands-on work with dermatologists and estheticians

  • Founder of Skindie, the first science-based beauty newsletter by cosmetic industry experts

  • A lifelong devotion to language, culminating in a debut poetry collection (coming 2026)

I approach writing as both architecture and art: structural and sensory, deliberate and alive. I write for resonance, but also for results. I help you find the line where clarity meets soul, where language moves people and moves the needle.
