Who is Kandileja ?

Cindy is a Colombian born, Hudson County raised entrepreneur and the founder of Transcend Active Lifestyle, launched in 2021. With a focus on innovation in movement apparel, she creates reflective, high-quality activewear designed to enhance safety, visibility, and performance for individuals who live actively whether skating, running, cycling, or training outdoors.

Driven by a passion for skating, community, and empowerment, Cindy has grown Transcend into a lifestyle brand that blends function with elevated design. Her mission is to support confident movement while encouraging people to feel seen—both literally and figuratively.

In 2022, she expanded her impact by founding WeSkateNJ, a New Jersey-based skating community dedicated to connection, fitness, and outdoor culture. Through group skates and events, she continues to build spaces where movement becomes both lifestyle and shared experience.

Cindy’s work sits at the intersection of fashion, fitness, and community rooted in visibility, empowerment, and purposeful movement.
