I launched something new this week called The Critique.
We, creatives, do not really know our own value until we see our work through someone else’s eyes. Especially the person deciding whether to hire us, trust us, or move on.
The Critique lets you see your portfolio or site from that perspective. Try it for free: https://humancritique.replit.app/
If this resonates, I would appreciate your vote on Product Hunt.

More visuals from the rejected brand direction I shared earlier.
Really good to see this direction resonating with so many of you. It was one of our favourite explorations to build, from the narrative behind it to the visual world that brought it to life.
Great work doesn’t always make the final cut, and sometimes the reason has little to do with the quality of the direction.
Curious why this one was rejected? I’ve shared the story in the first comment✨
Nazariya Living is a premium carpet and home décor brand shaped by craftsmanship, culture and the stories objects carry into our homes.
This direction brought that idea to life through a seal-inspired logo, archival textures, unexpected colours and editorial typography, creating...
i woke up yesterday morning to a review from the first person i consulted with after restructuring my offers and basically all the systems and operations within my business content Rxx 🥹
Freddy booked "the consult" with me a few weeks ago because he'd gone viral and had no idea what to do with it. since then he's gone from 16.5k to over 24k on Instagram.
he said my expertise helped him turn one moment into an actual multi-platform presence. i've read it probably ten times bc wow... that's the whole point for me!
being incredibly transparent: this has been a slow season in business for me. i've spent it rebuilding systems, offers, and operations behind the scenes, which meant i went quiet publicly right when i'd planned to be loudest.
so getting this on a morning after high-key having a emotion breakdown from feeling like business is slow and i don't know how to share about my business felt like a very specific "you're on the right path" from God himself.
it also confirmed something i've been circling for a week. i just finished a 3-day course with Kendra Taul, creating a new specific offer, and kept landing in the same place: the people i'm actually built to help are creators. not just "business owners" broadly. creators and artists with real traction and no system underneath it. Freddy was the first person through the new structure and he's exactly that person.
so here's the plain version: i'm Maia, i run content Rxx, and i help creators build content management systems so social media stops feeling like a full-time job they didn't apply for. i really love this work. i really love watching someone realize their content doesn't have to be overwhelming & it can be built.
if you're a creator sitting on an audience with no system underneath it, that's the exact conversation i want to have with you.
