About MLE
I am a passionate UI Designer and Art Director with a keen eye for detail, a passion for innovative design, and anything that allows me to express my creativity. My portfolio showcases a diverse collection of projects that reflect my dedication to creating intuitive, user-centric, and visually striking user interfaces.
Proudly embracing my Mexican and Finnish heritage,
I like to refer to myself as a "MEXIFINN." Growing up with a Mexican version of Martha Stewart (my mom),
I developed a knack for crafting delicious salsa and a deep appreciation for culinary arts.
I'm at my best while designing to music that gets me in the zone. While I love bold colors, I typically wear black. My home has a retro style, adorned with vibrant art that I've created. Right now, I'm obsessed with collecting pins—likely a reflection of my passion for logo design—and
I plan to transform my MLE logo into a pin. My dream
is to establish a silk screening studio so I can wear
my own designs.
​
One thing about me is that I'm always researching, whether it’s design, culture, art, history, or intriguing
old sayings. Sometimes, my mind won’t shut down,
but I consider that a good thing!

Be sure to check out my PAWTtings and paintings on my Instagram page, MLEPAINTINGS, I love capturing animals and scenes from my favorite movies. During the holidays, I paint pets on ornaments, and I always cherish the opportunity to create a painting in memory of someone’s beloved pet or as a thoughtful gift.
