ABOUT ME

Who is Maia Merritt?

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a passion for any and all things creative. When I was younger, I was determined that I was going to be an artist when I grew up. It didn't take long for me to realize that I couldn't draw or paint to save my life. I then found my love for the violin and played from ages 8 to 18. In a ways, I did become an artist. Music has always been my safe space and it was something that I thought I would continue for the rest of my life.

 

However, when the pandemic hit, I lost my passion for the arts and soon realized I needed something else to fulfill my love for the creatives. I decided to pick up photography, videography, and content creation. Fast forward four years later, I am now in my last year of college and still figuring out what it is I want to do. In my four years, I have worked on my college campus taking photos/creating social media content. Around Lincoln, I have taken photos and filmed for different bands that play in local bars. And I have worked with the Nebraska Department of Economic Development showing people what it's like to live in the Good Life. 

I believe that younger me would be proud of who she became in the end; still having that passion for all things creative.
