About Maya Axt Interiors - Interior Design Firm Based in Phoenix, AZ
Where quality and luxury meet comfort.
A beautiful home, in thoughtful hands.
Every renovation, custom home, and thoughtfully furnished space involves countless decisions. You need someone you can trust to see the big picture, anticipate the details, and bring everything together with confidence and care.
At Maya Axt Interiors, we combine creative vision with meticulous planning to create timeless, highly personalized homes throughout Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. Led by founder and principal designer Maya Axt, our boutique interior design studio offers a hands-on, collaborative approach, guiding your project from the earliest plans to the finishing touches.
With an intentionally close-knit team and a trusted network of technical and procurement specialists, we bring the right expertise to every project while keeping the experience personal. The result is a thoughtfully managed process, considered investments, and a home that feels unmistakably yours.

Meet Maya
Founder & Principal Designer
With degrees in graphic design and architecture, a decade-long career in visual merchandising for a major NYC retailer, I bring both creative vision and strategic management to every home we design.
Over the past six years, I’ve built Maya Axt Interiors into a trusted name for warm, timeless interiors that feel as good as they look. While clients are often drawn to our signature aesthetic, they stay with us (and return to us) for the experience: thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and design tailored with intention to their lifestyle.
When I’m not hunting down the perfect accent chair, you’ll likely find me at my daughter Emma’s basketball games, cooking a new recipe for dinner, or watching one of our many favorite shows with my husband, Brian and our goldendoodle, Gryffi.
Getting to know Maya
I was born in Israel and raised in Miami, surrounded by my large Argentinian family.
I speak Spanish, which makes for smooth communication with contractors and trades here in Phoenix.
I come from a family of entrepreneurs, whether making and selling my own jewelry at 12 years old, selling homemade bread in high school, doing freelance graphic design work as a college student, or finally opening up Maya Axt Interiors, that entrepreneurial spirit has always been front and center.
Oh, and our dog’s name is actually short for Gryffindor Hagrid (IYKYK).
Meet Kerstin
Project / procurement manager
Kerstin grew up in the Valley of the Sun and graduated from the University of Arizona. She spent the majority of her career in marketing and event management. She truly loves working on projects and seeing them come together (especially the final result).
In her personal time, she enjoys hanging out with her husband, 17 year old Puggle and three children.
Our Guiding Values
-
We say what we mean and we mean what we say. We honor our commitments, treat everyone with respect, and communicate openly and honestly — so you’re always in the loop and kept up to date.
-
We know the best results are achieved when we work as a team. That’s why we take the time to clearly understand your goals, wants, and needs. Then, we work closely within our team, with you, and with our skilled trades and contracting partners to achieve the best outcome for your home.
-
Our process allows for exploration and curiosity, so we can truly get to know you and the way you want to live. Then, we create a space that is uniquely and authentically a reflection of you and what you value most.
“There are no words to describe the joy we experience waking up every morning in our stunning master bedroom and walking around the now cohesive great room Maya designed.”
Kind Words
“Before Maya, we were second-guessing every decision to the point that nothing got done. She solved that for us with her beautiful designs.
We knew with 100% certainty Maya would achieve everything we hoped when we saw the first inspiration board. It added clarity to the blurry vision we had for what our home should be and, most importantly, it enabled us to discover exactly what our style is.
If we had the budget, we’d hire Maya for every single detail of our home.”
