How It All Began

Experience Ecuador

in the Middle of Planet Earth.

Ecuador is a country straddling the equator on South America’s northern west coast.  

Its diverse landscape encompasses the Amazon jungle, Andean highlands and the wildlife-rich Galápagos Islands. Ecuador is where my family and rich culture was born, still resides, and continues to blossom. I am first generation born in the USA and the proud son of Ecuadorian immigrants who kept our family well connected to our History and Culture.

A passion for my ancestry and rich heritage brings me to this point. Having lived and traveled to Ecuador over the years has given me a wider perspective of life in Ecuador. I am eager to share all that I can about our people, and with a focus on their incomparable artistic and creative talents. During recent visits, we've encountered an inspiring group of artisans and ideas were born; a way to combine our passion for design, fashion and artistic expression with a desire to help those in need.

EcuVida was created to help build awareness of an amazing culture located in a magical place on Earth. EcuVida will play a major role in the lives of indigenous artisans who are finding economic independence through their beautiful craft and quality product.
