Donavan and Maya met their first year at UCSB and have always supported each other's creative outlets. In 2024, Donavan and Maya were both named winners in UCSB’s HFA Give Day Contest for their submissions under prose and poetry. With Donavan’s background in music composition and Maya’s devotion to personal narrative writing, they produced a series of pieces that combine their storytelling talents. After Donavan produced a composition of Maya’s first publication, he named, “Maya’s Tree,” they decided to follow this trail, which led to this event.
