About MAY
We believe in leaving everything far better and more functional than we found it. That our work is our unique contribution to our surroundings and our community. And that what we build should be a reflection of our values as artists, as mothers, and as a collaborative team. We find inspiration in the evolution of seasons, the bloom of new beginnings, and the tenacity of the talented creatives we are lucky to work alongside.
We look forward to creating and growing with you.
