Our Team

kendra

With a background in artisan bakeries, Kendra has developed a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and the finer details that bring a product to life. Kendra is the mastermind behind the candle recipes, carefully curating scent combinations and overseeing the concrete work that gives each piece its unique character. She brings a strong understanding of the science behind the products, ensuring that everything is both beautiful and functional. She is the one who conceived the name "Saltillo Company," capturing the essence of the aesthetic and the spirit of the brand. Her personal style blends bohemian warmth, coastal calm, and the earthy tones of the Southwest, all tied together with an effortlessly relaxed, approachable vibe. This distinctive mix influences everything from product design to the overall brand experience.

With over 20 years of experience in industrial sewing and upholstery, Shan brings a wealth of hands-on skill and precision craftsmanship to Saltillo Company. Her expertise lies in hand-cutting and meticulously stitching every piece of leather used in the product line, ensuring that each item is crafted with care, durability, and attention to detail. She is also the team's idea generator—constantly dreaming up inventive, bold, and sometimes wildly ambitious concepts (some of which push the limits of what's even possible). Her fearless creativity adds a sense of surprise and originality to the brand's offerings.
