Meet the team
Leo Rivero
Founder AND Lead Creative
Leo is a visionary artist whose work is rooted in craftsmanship, transformation, and a deep connection to nature.
Since an early age, he has had a passion for bringing to life creations that inspire and empower others. He began woodcarving at twelve years old, mastering classical relief carving by fifteen. Leo then transferred his sculpture skills into a variety of mediums, including marble, wood, and wax. Leo’s love of creating functional art led him to study jewelry in Florence at the renowned Alchimia Contemporary Jewelry School. There, he refined his skills in lost wax carving and advanced techniques, merging his passions for wood and marble carving with sculptural jewelry design. Now his visionary heart has taken him into the realm of crafting ceremonial cacao.
Today, Leo’s work embodies craftsmanship, empowerment, and transformation. Each piece is intentionally crafted to inspire personal and spiritual growth, reflecting his journey of resilience, creativity, and a profound respect for tradition and the natural world.

Every Piece Gives Back
giving back to the original earth keepers
We honor the sacred traditions of Indigenous peoples who have stewarded this land for generations and stand in solidarity with movements like Land Back, which restore sovereignty and protect ancestral lands.
Indigenous communities like the Boruca hold some of the last living threads of wisdom about how to live in balance with the Earth. Their languages, songs, and ceremonies carry knowledge that cannot be found in books or taught in classrooms, knowledge about harmony, reciprocity, and resilience. Yet, these cultures are under constant threat from land development, globalization, and the erasure of their ways of life. When these communities are supported, the wisdom they carry is protected.
Inspired by Ana Iris (pictured on the upper left), a Boruca matriarch, we dedicate $1 of every purchase to help her rebuild the roof to her ceremonial maloca, a sacred gathering space. By helping fund its completion, we are helping ensure that their traditions, ceremonies, and sacred connection to the land thrive for generations.
