May Myint Leung was born in Yangon, Myanmar, and lives in Garrison, New York, with her husband and three children. Her work moves between writing, brand storytelling, and the business of building homes.
May creates social media campaigns for brands including Fulgor Milano, Industry West, Modern Fan Co, Aquavoss, Liftsync, Playshifu, and Coyuchi. Her background spans fashion and technology, and her content work draws on both.
She founded MAOR, a boutique owner's representation consultancy for clients navigating complex residential builds, and Building Blueprint, an education platform for people managing their own custom home construction.
Her first book, Character Grade, co-authored with Peter Leung, is forthcoming from Schiffer Publishing in 2027. Part memoir and part technical handbook, the book chronicles the process of serving as their own general contractor on an architect-designed home in Garrison.
She holds a degree in economics from Fordham University.
