Hello,

My name is Maya, and I would love to share with you a little bit about my new project.

The Middle Child stems from a lifelong journey of loving sewing and designing garments. I began sewing when I was seven years old. Hand in hand with sewing, came a small little baby entrepreneur. Around eight years old, I had a stand at the holiday market selling little hats under my first company’s name, “Maya’s Creations”. Next came “Maya’s Magnificent Bags” as I honed in on the holiday wrapping bag niche. Understandably, selling Christmas themed wine bottle bags to adults got boring for pre-teen Maya, and she needed to find something a little bit more inspiring.

This led her down a colorful, cotton print and vibrant flannel pajama path, that turned in to making prom dresses out of curtains, and wearing half finished tops to school that adult Maya is ashamed to even admit. This same path led her straight to San Francisco upon graduating high school, and it brought her right to the point we are at right now, maybe unrealistically and definitely idealistically hoping that someday she could build a brand that sustains over time, makes quality clothes that deeply excites people, and reminds people that childhood dreams don’t always have to end in childhood. 

I am so excited to share the Middle Child with you. It comes from the deepest part of my heart and soul, and I can’t wait to see where it will go.

Love your fav middle child,

Maya
