Whether it’s looking for new opportunities for collaboration, or seeking ways further her business acumen, Andria Muñoz knows how to advocate for her business! That’s why she’s this month’s Client Spotlight feature.

Andria first launched her hand-made jewelry collection in 2019, and after dedicating herself to entrepreneurship, she grew her brand into a retail space that included her own signature items as well as a curated selection of goods from other like-minded brands. Now Andria’s Tienda is a one-stop, go-to-shop in the Phoenix area.

After attending an online webinar hosted by the Prestamos WBC Andria continued to come to Prestamos for learning and growth opportunities. She then participated in her first cohort program in collaboration with Project DreamCatcher and is one of our featured vendors at the annual Jefas Mercado.
