MEW (also known as Max) is a writer, artist, magic practitioner, coach, and therapist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They are queer, non-binary, neurodivergent, and passionate about creating spaces of care, connection, and belonging for misfits and sensitive spirits.

Originally from the coast of California, MEW has lived in San Francisco, Brooklyn, Chicago, and Portland. After over a decade of city life, they’ve found their rhythm in the high desert, dreaming of a future filled with goats, chickens, tea, and slow mornings.

A solo world traveler, deep feeler, obsessive book collector, and lifelong learner, MEW moves through the world with intuition, tenderness, activism, and a commitment to cultivating softness in a hard world, whether they’re making art, holding space, or baking gluten-free sourdough.
