"Maya stepped into our very messy library and took charge and organized it so nicely. 

It took an expert in materials and organization for such a herculean task.

She is a pleasure to work with and extremely collaborative.

We are able to function more efficiently because of Maya’s help. She is a true gem.

I highly recommend her for any of your material library needs."

"Maya has done an exceptional job with the initial organization of our materials library and with the implementation of a system that keeps our library clean and tidy. She manages an extensive range of physical samples and organizes rep visits to our office to keep the materials up to date. What I love about the new system most is that the materials are no longer ending up in the landfill while products that qualify are tagged  with mindful material labels. She is constantly improving the depth of  our library content with new products. In addition, Maya has reorganized our digital material rep sheet and is constantly keeping it up to date.

She is an amazing person to work with; a great communicator, always taking the time to answer questions and provide guidance. We are incredibly fortunate to have Maya as a member of our team and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled material librarian."

"Maya does so much for our office it is hard to make sure I have captured it all.  She is truly a wonder!  She keeps up both the Interiors library as well as currently rehauling the exterior materials library.  The library has never been so neat and organized, and we still have a wide selection of materials and finishes for corporate, healthcare, senior living and multi-use buildings.  She has also worked with the designers to keep up specialty areas such as Healthy Hospital Initiative (HHI) and is currently working on vetting all new products to make sure they comply with our sustainability standards.  Maya also keeps up the vendor contacts in Designer Pages and organizes the bi-weekly vendor trade shows, which has helped in controlling the number of vendors visiting our office. She continuously helps the designers with keeping the general office tidy and ensures that vendors pick up samples instead of just throwing them away.  She and her staff are always cheerful and happy to help.  We are truly thankful for having Maya around."
