Zhiyao (Maggie) Ma

BBA Strategic Design & Management '23

I am a senior at Parsons, majoring in Strategic Design and Management. My passion for crafting began in high school when I embarked on a journey of creating intricate beading jewelry. With a penchant for gentle and soothing color palettes, I meticulously string together beads and pearls to fashion a diverse range of jewelry pieces, spanning from elegant rings to graceful necklaces and charming bracelets.

My creative wellspring draws inspiration from the natural world, as well as the opulent luxury of vintage products from the 70s and 80s. These influences infuse my designs with a unique blend of timeless elegance and contemporary flair. Through my jewelry, I strive to capture the essence of both nature's beauty and the allure of bygone eras, offering a wearable reflection of my creative spirit.
