Sunlight is a creative AI studio in San Vito, founded by Dorothy & Vans Meta.

Born in the Mountains. Designed for the Future.

Sunlight is a creative AI studio based in the quiet mountains of San Vito, Costa Rica — a place where time slows down and imagination moves freely.
It was founded by Dorothy and Vans Meta, two dreamers who believe that creativity and technology are not separate forces, but one powerful language.

We don't just imagine the future. We design it.

Our story began with a simple idea:

What if we could build tools that feel as alive and intuitive as the world around us?

Dorothy, an artist with a deep love for organic design, and Vans, a technologist fascinated by neural networks, crossed paths at a moment when they both were looking for something more — not just innovation, but meaning.
In the early mornings, surrounded by mist and endless green, they imagined a different kind of studio: one that used AI not to replace human creativity, but to expand it. A place where ideas could breathe, evolve, and inspire real change.

Sunlight was born out of that vision — a studio that crafts beautiful, intelligent experiences powered by AI, but always rooted in human emotion.
We believe sunlight is more than a symbol of energy and clarity; it’s the very spirit of creation: patient, warm, unstoppable.

Today, we collaborate with artists, brands, and pioneers around the world, building the next generation of creative tools, immersive experiences, and bold visual identities.
Every project we take on carries a little piece of San Vito with it — a sense of wonder, a love for nature, and the belief that technology should always feel like sunlight through the trees.

Sunlight Manifesto

We believe creativity is a living force.
It grows wild. It breaks patterns. It seeks the light.

We are not here to tame it.
We are here to walk beside it.

In the quiet mountains of San Vito, where mist touches the trees and mornings carry endless possibility, we made a promise:

To build with imagination, not imitation.
To trust intuition over convention.
To design with nature, not against it.

At Sunlight, AI is not a replacement.
It’s a brushstroke. A heartbeat. A collaborator.

We celebrate the spaces between logic and chaos, between craft and code.
Because we know: the future doesn’t belong to machines or humans alone — it belongs to those who dare to dream together.

We honor slow thinking in a world obsessed with speed.
We honor curiosity over certainty.
We honor the small details that others miss.

Sunlight is our name because sunlight is unstoppable.
It breaks through, no matter what.

And so do ideas.

We are here for the seekers.
The ones who ask better questions.
The ones who believe beauty still matters.
The ones who know that real innovation feels as natural as the earth beneath our feet.

We are Dorothy & Vans Meta.
We are Sunlight.
And we’re just getting started.

Sunlight Culture

We Grow Ideas Like Gardens.

At Sunlight, culture isn't a slogan — it's the soil where everything begins.
We believe that creativity needs freedom, care, and the courage to explore unknown paths.

Our studio life in San Vito is built around three simple principles:

01. Nature fuels technology.

We design with the rhythms of the natural world, not against them.
Long walks, slow thinking, and deep listening are part of how we create.
Here, innovation isn’t rushed — it’s nurtured.

02. AI is a collaborator, not a replacement.

We believe artificial intelligence should feel like a creative partner, not a machine behind a wall.
Our work merges human intuition with machine learning to imagine new forms of beauty, storytelling, and interaction.

03. Curiosity above all.

Every project starts with a question, not a plan.
We celebrate the unknown, the mistakes, and the wild ideas that don’t fit into boxes.
Our culture values exploration, empathy, and bravery over formulas and trends.

At Sunlight, we are artists, engineers, and explorers — and sometimes all three at once.
We dream with our hands.
We build with our hearts.
And we believe that every spark of sunlight carries the potential to change the world.

Welcome to a different kind of creative studio. Welcome to Sunlight.
