I've been following Mayi's Heartmade Blog for quite some time now and all I have to say is that I'm constantly amazed by her talent, her spirit, her positive attitude and her -oh, so funny!- and helpful Friday Videos.
Mayi is a cute and sweet girl from Panama who can win you from the very first second. She's full of energy and so passionate about her work that you can't help but want to follow her steps. She's a true inspiration!
She owns an eco-friendly boutique on Etsy which is filled with her cute creations of eco-friendly felt and printables of her adorable illustrations.
Mayi is multi talented! She's also an amazing painter! Her oil and mixed media paintings are so beautiful and carry her unique style.
But that's not all! Mayi is also a giver!
She also works as an one-on-one creative biz coach.
"I help creative hearts break down their own barriers to success + solve their biggest frustrations, so they can finally do what they truly love without having to deal with the stress of an empty piggy bank. That's what I love to do + I'm addicted to it." - as she says on her blog.
And you can see how this is true if you only watch one of her Friday Videos. She's so excited and so full of passion about her work and she wants so much to "pass her knowledge", that's truly amazing! Plus, her cute Panamanian accent will make you stick around for a while and totally adore her! I could stay and listen to her talk FOR HOURS! ;-)
Mayi is a really kind and fun person. She has an amazing sense of humor and she always treats her readers/customers/clients with so much elegance and respect. There's no way that you may leave her a comment or send her an e-mail and she won't get back to you. NO WAY! She's so friendly and approachable and she makes you feel so special. When I made my Painted Stripe Tote Bag based on her tutorial for Striped Fabric where she's used an onesie, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a comment from her and a -oh, so kind!- e-mail that she was thanking me about trying her tutorial and giving her credit about it. Isn't she AMAZING?! Well, she has won a place in my heart, for sure! :-)
Well, the thing that I wanted to say when I started writing this post is about the incredible things that Mayi has accomplished in such a short period of time. Nothing came overnight though, she has worked hard in many different fields and she never stops learning new things and educate herself. After launching her blog in 2010 she's never stopped making huge steps to the top. And that's remarkable!
Today she's sharing some great news about her business. For the last couple of months she's been working on a brand new collection of whimsical illustrations for an exclusive collaboration with sarah + abraham, an online boutique known for its stylish personalized stationery.
From now on all of her illustrations are available in a variety of products, such as stationary, stickers, invitations, notepads, pocket mirrors, calling cards, plates, bowls, magnets, water bottles e.t.c. What a HUGE STEP for a tiny Panamanian artist as herself! ;-)
I really feel so proud of her, as if she was my best friend! That's a great accomplishment and definitely something that I would dream for myself too someday. Her career is a great example of how passion, hard work and persistence can lead you to the highest tops! I believe that if I follow her advice, if I set goals and be more organized, then... MAYBE... I could do half the things that she's done.
GOOD LUCK Mayi with everything you do and thank you so much for being a constant source of inspiration and motivation to me and to so many others! I wish to you all the best in the world! :-)
So, what are you waiting for?
Go give her some love too!
