Greetings from Sandstorm !
In 2022, I left my job to pursue a path as a freelance creator, driven by a passion for storytelling, character development, and supporting those around me. Early experiences from developing new technologies to collaborating on local and international productions taught me the power of creativity and the importance of lifting up creators.
The corona era was another turning point, showing how fragile opportunities can be and the need to create a space where artists can grow together, even in difficult times.
This led to the founding of Sandstorm. What started as a small network of artists has grown into a company empowering professionals across CG production, digital media, web marketing, digital humans, game development, and more.
Our mission is simple: to open doors for overlooked talent, help creators thrive, and build a world powered by imagination.
For me, business is like a video game finishing one stage only brings a new challenge. Sandstorm will continue to grow, innovate, and support creators everywhere. Through the Blender Academy I created, we aim to teach future generations how to rise, evolve, and become professionals in their craft.
At Sandstorm, we turn our Artists into Legends.
Let's Bridge Minds, Link Worlds, Share Voices, and we will Break Walls, Building Bridges, Beyond Borders, Into one Mind.
