About one small woman big, this little business in Los Angeles supports artists that need that little push to keep going. CREATIVE HUMP is for people who want more support with artistic goals that are just out of reach.
My name is Sandra Cheng, aka Sandra Cheese a highly experienced and well-versed artist. I was known for coming out with the award-winning film “PedantPhilia” in 2002. It was my first year film where I hit the ground running at University of Southern California with my Masters Degree, and I just don’t stop.
Since then, I’ve been active in my community supporting diverse clients with mental health, using my experience as a peer specialist trained in recovery from serious mental health issues and group facilitation. My career is less about making money, and more about connection or belonging.
I also keep myself busy writing as a less than active stand up comedian, a cat mom, and someone who likes to do karaoke and vacation a little too much.
Trust in my expertise to achieve the best outcome for your website portfolio, artwork, integrations, social media, newsletter campaigns, text messaging reminders, and/or logos. How can I help you with discovering what your work can be about?
I hope that we will see each other as equals and look for opportunities to learn and make the most out of our time together.
