ANDREA

Head designer and artisan, Andrea is 29 years old and is a mother of four with Florentino. Surrounded by chakiras since she was a young girl, Andrea has moved on from making the ordinary chakira bracelets and necklaces to creating new, more sophisticated designs next to Paulina, yet always keeping the essential Wixárika symbolism in her work. Her skills capture stories of everyday life and reflect her feelings about her family, community, and faith. She is a constant source of innovation and inspiration for other women in the region.
