DL Skateboards
Andino formed DL Skateboards with Derek Mabra in 2011. Of her inspiration for starting the company, she told Vogue:
In the 1960s, if you wanted a skateboard, you carved and painted it yourself, and that is what we make, a classic skateboard with a modern twist.
Andino designs and paints each DL Skateboard collection. In an interview with the New York Daily News, she stated that:
A lot of the designs come from '60s, surf style or a classic kid toys, and they are hand-painted. So even if you get the same design, each board is different.
In 2014, Marie Claire named her one of the 5 Women Running the Show Behind Iconic Male Brands along with executives from Anheuser-Busch, Playboy, and ESPN. The Daily Beast profiled her as a "skater chick turned entrepreneur".
