"When Maye Ruiz was a child she was already immersed in her life's work even though she didn't realize it. As an adult, Ruiz continued to rearrange the items in her own residence. "Over time, I understood that the same impulse was still there," she says. "That's when I knew that designing and shaping spaces was much more than a game - it was my vocation.""
"Art also left a strong impression on Ruiz, particularly the work of Hieronymus Bosch. She would pore over the pages of a book filled with the Dutch artist's paintings, both intrigued and terrified by his scenes of the afterlife. A fascination with layered details and hidden narratives is something that she strives to bring to her creative process today. Ruiz eventually studied interior design at university, and continued to hone her skills."
Maye Ruiz began rearranging objects and organizing bookshelves in childhood, an impulse that developed into a vocation for designing and shaping spaces. Early exposure to art, especially Hieronymus Bosch, fostered a fascination with layered detail and hidden narratives that informs her creative approach. Ruiz studied interior design at university and continued to refine her skills before founding Maye Estudio in San Miguel de Allende in 2021. The studio specializes in residential and hospitality projects, characterized by bold use of color. Ruiz's improvisational ability and comfort with ad lib solutions shape her process. She often crafts stories for rooms and expresses interest in long-form conversations and podcasting.
