At Anton van der Sandt Consulting, I combine my experience in F&B with an understanding of customer experience and creative work to create murals, set backdrops, private commissions and trompe l'oeil. My clients include hotels, restaurants, cafés, corporates, franchises, SMEs, private residences and the advertising and commercial film industry.
