Our story

Design and engineering - a perfect partnership. Our co-founders Andrew and Eric met in late 2014 while working on video software for BuzzFeed in Los Angeles, and immediately bonded over a shared passion for building great products and having fun in the process. A few years and many brunch conversations about the value of design and tech collaboration later, Sandstone was born in 2017. Our founding principle is that great products are built from a foundation of delightful design and robust engineering, and our mission is to pursue projects that we, as a team, are passionate about. After building a proudly diverse team of elite talent and working on projects for dozens of innovative clients, Sandstone is now one of the most prestigious agencies in Los Angeles.
