MEET MAYA MOSLEY
East Coast hustle, West Coast innovation…
Hi There,
I’m Maya, a dynamic leader who has mastered the art of adaptability, visionary leadership, and community-driven impact, blending the strategic drive of my East Coast upbringing with the creative ingenuity of the “Best Coast,” which I’ve called home for over a decade.
With an extensive background spanning luxury, beauty, and media tech, I specialize in brand storytelling, experiential marketing, and executive-level global event strategy. My passion for relationship-building, people leadership, and high-touch experiences ensures that every project I lead is not only meticulously executed but also deeply impactful. My 15+ years of expertise is leveraged as the Founder and Creative Director of the Ivywood Group, a boutique creative studio helping emerging and niche beauty brands refine their identity and compete with prestige beauty leaders in a crowded marketplace.
Beyond my professional career, I am a dedicated community advocate. I am a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®, currently serving as the Northern California Cluster Coordinator for the Far Western Region, where I support and advocate for members and communities across the Bay Area and Northern California.
Maya holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from Northeastern University in Boston, MA.
