The story of collekton begins with Julian Sander ten years ago.
Julian Sander, CTO
is a fourth-generation gallerist, photographer, and musician whose deep roots in the art world uniquely inform his role as collekton’s CTO and lead developer. With decades of experience in both creative and technical fields, he began developing collekton over ten years ago to solve real challenges galleries and collectors face.
His dual perspective as both a gallerist and a technologist ensures collekton is not just powerful, but intuitive - respecting the nuances of curation while embracing the potential of digital tools.
