SANTI PINTADO
OH, SANDY!

Awesome to meet you, Sandy, and congrats on your MAXIM feature. How do you feel?

I'm so f-king excited and thankful for this opportunity! This photo shoot gave me the reassurance that I can do anything I set my mind to.

What is your best asset?

My smile - shout out to my dad for the dimples.

When do you feel sexy?

I feel the sexiest when I'm making moves and working on my business.

Your Instagram profile says that you are the creator of Hempition. Tell us more about this business and how it all came about.

I actually started Hempition after I got furloughed from my job during COVID. I honestly had no idea what I was doing but my intention was to start my own business and be a part of bringing awareness to hemp.

Nice! What else do you do when you're not posing for MAXIM?

I'm either shopping, eating, chilling by the pool or booking a flight for my next adventure.

Tell us a little more about yourself.

I'm pretty laid back. I love to be social but I also really like my alone time. I'm originally from a place called Garden Grove in California but was raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. And I have three siblings, Devon, Lily and Erick.

What do you dislike about social media platforms?
