About Sandra:

I started my YouTube channel in 2020 sharing graphic design tutorials and tips on how to sell digital products. I was still working as a full-time engineer so this was more of a side hustle. In just over 1 year, I reached 100k subscribers and had my first brand deal. In just under 2 years, my YouTube channel was generating more income than my full-time job. I recently quit my job in January 2025 to officially pursue content creation full-time.
