Of her inspiration for starting the company, she told Vogue Magazine: 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 explained: 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 Magazine named her one of 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".
