The Art Of Beauty: Maggie Wilson

Maggie has been an ex beauty queen, television personality-turned-designer who was raised in Saudi Arabia.

The art of beauty is innate within Maggie Wilson. An ex-beauty queen, TV personality-turned-designer, and entrepreneur, Maggie has mastered channelling beauty from the inside and out in every aspect of her life. Growing up in Saudi Arabia to a Scottish father and a Filipina mother, she attributes her endless enthusiasm to delve into different cultures and flexibility to adapt to any working environment to being a third culture child.

At 14, Maggie began her modelling, hosting, and acting career. She became a well-known VJ on MTV and has hosted several TV shows, such as Philippines' Next Top Model, Beached on Metro Channel, and Thank God It's the Weekend on CNN, alongside starring in many TV series and soap operas. In 2017, she was crowned Miss World Philippines.

From one magazine cover to another, from one show to another, her triumph in Amazing Race Asia Season 5 made her even more of a seasoned quadruple threat. She has graced several prestigious Arab and Philippine fashion week runways, representing some of the world's most respected fashion designers while being the face of global brands on social media.

While being in the limelight means having set her foot in different parts of the world, traveling has enriched Maggie's creative side, leading to her brainchild ACASA. With a background in Interior Design, the popular furniture store and design studio provides customers with ready-made and customized pieces and helps clients design their dream spaces. Acasa's design aesthetic is reminiscent of Maggie's style, a relaxed but luxurious way of living.

Complementing the home design-oriented business concept, Maggie also introduced Acasa Living, a YouTube channel that features tips and themes on home design.

Being one of Asia's leading social media celebrities, Maggie shares her knowledge and experience developing brand concepts by making compelling content and campaigns while being in front of the camera and behind the scenes. This year, she is excited to expand SPROOS, a global creative studio specializing in content creation for the Asian and Middle Eastern markets.

Maggie has her eyes set on the world with a competitive spirit, and the word stop is not in her vocabulary. She will be unveiling another world-class brand for the patrons of beauty, offering services like eyelash extensions, nails, and grooming services for men and women alike. THE STRAND will soon take centre stage in the beauty industry.

While Maggie is no stranger to the limelight, she uses her influence to give back to society by working with social organizations such as Smile Train and World Vision with core advocacies for children, raising funds for education and medical missions.
