ANDY GARCIA

Andy Garcia - a second-generation Mexican American artist and designer - blends heritage, tradition, and craftsmanship through his leatherwork. With a background in graphic and UI design, photography, and videography, he began leather-crafting as a hobby, creating wallets and clutches for friends. Over time, it evolved into a serious pursuit grounded in traditional, hand-crafted techniques.

Inspired by the history of the Southwest and his cultural roots, Nando incorporates subtle, meaningful details into his pieces—like adobe-shaped pockets and a vaquero riding New Mexico’s state bird. While he doesn’t claim mastery, he is committed to constant growth, balancing his leatherwork with a full-time career in design. Nando’s Leather Goods reflects the culmination of his creative journey and dedication to craft.
