Today we’d like to introduce you to Gabriela Mazacotte
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
When we decided to start this business, we knew we wanted to offer something different—not just curtains and shades, but solutions that truly transform spaces and elevate our clients’ experiences. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, bringing Maza to the United States was a major step—and like any transition, it came with its own set of challenges.
Our journey here began in a garage, with just three women full of dreams and determination. In the beginning, everything was very simple: we worked tirelessly, sharing every task and facing the daily challenges of starting from scratch. But our passion for what we were doing and our belief in the project kept us going, even when obstacles appeared.
At first, we had to adapt to a new market, understand the preferences of the American audience, and, most importantly, earn the trust of our clients. Every project was an opportunity to prove our value, and that’s how we grew—organically, by focusing on quality, personalized service, and customization, which is now one of our strongest assets.
There were difficulties—from logistical challenges to market competitiveness—but we never lost sight of our goal. Through resilience and hard work, we carved out our place, and today, we are proud to see Maza Decor recognized as a leader in high-end window treatments. Our commitment has always been, and will always be, to deliver excellence in every detail.
Over time, the hard work started to pay off. The business grew, and what was once a small space in the garage turned into two warehouses. Today, we have over 15 employees who are part of this story. Each of them contributes to our success, and together, we’ve built something we never imagined when we first started. The journey hasn’t been easy, but every step has been crucial to getting us where we are today, and we are incredibly proud to see how our small idea has transformed into a solid and thriving business.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Like any business, we faced significant challenges, especially in the beginning. Entering the U.S. market meant adapting to different regulations, building a network from scratch, and competing with well-established brands. One of the biggest hurdles was earning the trust of a new clientele—people who were accustomed to other options and had yet to experience the level of customization and service we provide.
Logistics was another challenge. Sourcing high-quality materials, ensuring efficient deliveries, and maintaining our commitment to craftsmanship required constant adjustments and learning. Additionally, balancing growth while maintaining the personalized service that defines Maza was something we had to carefully navigate.
However, every challenge pushed us to improve, refine our processes, and strengthen our presence in the industry. Today, looking back, we see that those struggles shaped the company we are today—resilient, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to excellence.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At Maza Decor, we specialize in high-end custom window treatments, offering solutions that go beyond aesthetics to provide both functionality and sophistication to any space.

Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
I absolutely love this city!! It’s full of opportunities for everyone—whether you’re looking to build a career, start a business, or just experience life to the fullest The diversity of cultures and the vast range of leisure options it offers are incredible. Here, we can explore a huge area of tourism, with attractions for all tastes, from the most famous landmarks to hidden gems in quieter neighborhoods. The best part is that, despite all the hustle and bustle, we can still live peacefully surrounded by nature, with green spaces and areas to relax, which gives the city the perfect balance between urban life and nature.
As for the downsides, honestly, I don’t see many negatives besides the pollen, but other than that, I feel right at home here.
