We’re Emily and Ximena — sisters, soulmates, and the founders of Mint. We grew up sun-kissed in a small beach town on the coast of Ecuador, where the ocean shaped not just our childhood, but our dreams.

​

The sea has always been our starting point — its beauty, its calm, and its wildness are at the heart of everything we do.

 

Emily is the visionary. She lives and breathes the ocean — it fuels her imagination, her spirit, and her art. With a deep love for storytelling, design, and visual expression, she leads all things creative, branding, and marketing at Mint. She’s the one turning feelings into visuals, ideas into experiences, and bringing the essence of the coast into everything you see.

​

Ximena is the maker. She’s grounded, intuitive, and endlessly crafty. Her hands shape what Mint becomes — from intricate jewelry to handcrafted details. She sees beauty in the small things, the delicate textures, the quiet elegance of something made with care. She’s the one who brings our ideas to life, piece by piece.

Together, we created Mint to share the feeling of home — of salt in your hair, sun on your skin, and something beautifully handmade close to your heart.

We’re so happy you’re here. 

 

Welcome to our story.

With love,
Emily & Ximena
