Greetings from Sandstorm !
In 2022, I left my job to pursue a path as a freelance creator, driven by a passion for storytelling, character creation, and supporting fellow artists. From developing new technologies to collaborating on local and international productions, these early experiences taught me the power of creativity and the importance of empowering others.
The COVID era became another turning point. It revealed how fragile opportunities can be, and how essential it is to build a space where artists can grow together, even in challenging times.
This vision led to the founding of Sandstorm.
What began as a small network of artists has evolved into a studio supporting professionals across CG production, digital media, web marketing, digital humans, game development, and interactive experiences.
Our mission is simple:
to open doors for overlooked talent, help creators thrive, and build worlds powered by imagination.
To me, business is like a video game finishing one stage only unlocks the next challenge. Sandstorm will continue to grow, innovate, and support creators worldwide. Through the Blender Academy, we aim to teach future generations how to rise, evolve, and become professionals in their craft.
At Sandstorm, we turn artists into legends.
Let’s bridge minds, link worlds, and share voices, breaking walls,
building bridges, and connecting beyond borders into one creative vision.
