Alejandro’s focus is on developing social design projects that mark an immediate difference in contemporary issues. By having a familial background in Medicine and by being born in a developing country, his main objective is reaching solutions that directly impact an overlooked demographic’s needs. The form of the designs is shaped by his close relation to Ecuador’s traditional methods and aesthetics, influenced by his experience in furniture design and love of woodworking.

ANDEAN is an award-winning design studio focused on collectible design, and high-end residential seating and décor collections. The studio combines Ecuadorian artisanship and iconography with modern manufacturing processes. The studio’s objective is to develop the notion of equatorial design to enhance the Andean material heritage. “Drink from the origin”, techniques, traditions, and materials of the region, to “transpire contemporaneity” through the forms and functions of our daily life. A past that projects us to the collective future of Andean talent and that enchants the world with our Latin American essence. ANDEAN’s practice is an exploration that highlights Ecuador's iconography and material culture. New items will be added to our ongoing collections every year, each bearing our equatorial design stamp and a distinct aesthetic. ANDEAN is a platform, not only for designers, manufacturers, or artisans but for all those who are committed to enhancing the future of equatorial design.
