Meet Nadia | The Founder

Nadia Sánchez Figueroa is the founder of Amor Andino, an Ecuadorian-inspired lifestyle brand built around memory, culture and the everyday beauty of objects.

From Ecuador, with intention

Before building Amor Andino, Nadia trained and worked as a nurse in Ecuador, including rural service in Morona Santiago. Care, attention and community remain central to how she thinks about the things people bring into their homes.

After moving to the Boston area, she began creating a brand that could carry something personal across borders: the warmth of family, the richness of Ecuador’s landscapes and the belief that meaningful objects should tell a story.

Not simply products. A point of view.

Amor Andino begins with jewelry, candles and small rituals; it also makes room for the recipes, places, language, people and traditions that shape Ecuadorian life. The goal is to build a living cultural home, not just a storefront.

Its first holiday candle edit is in development for 2026. A permanent fragrance collection is planned for Spring 2027.

Made with intention. Inspired by the Andes. Shared with love.
