MAYE Estudio is an interior architecture practice based in San Miguel de Allende with an active presence in the international contemporary design landscape.
Founded in 2021 by Maye Ruiz, the studio develops residential, commercial, and hospitality projects through an authorial and culturally grounded approach.
Its work is shaped by a deep reading of context, materiality, and color understood as spatial language. Each project unfolds as a cohesive environment where interior architecture, custom furniture, and creative direction come together to create spaces with clarity, atmosphere, and lasting identity.
Maye Ruiz is a Mexican interior designer and creative director known for her distinctive approach to color and atmosphere.
With nearly two decades of experience, she has developed a practice grounded in cultural awareness, material sensitivity, and a deep understanding of spatial narrative. Her work reflects a dialogue between contemporary design and artisanal heritage, shaped by her life and practice between Mexico and the international design scene.
