Bright Stripes
After working in the Toy & Children’s Product world for over 25 years combined, Sabre Mrkva and Eric von Stein started their dream company, Bright Stripes, in 2018. With a shared love of all things craft and DIY, they believe in the power of creative play to empower kids to create the world they want to live in. Sabre brings her 15+ years of experience of nuts & bolts kids’ product development and a strong business analysis to every decision and design choice. Eric studied Toy Design at FIT in NYC, where he learned the ins and outs of industrial design, childhood development and toy concepts, and has been working in toys for the past 13 years. A true toy super pair! They excel at transforming inspiration into market-ready, eye-catching product packaged in dynamic, trend- right graphics. Equally important to the founders is their charity partner, Art Feeds. Art Feeds equips schools and children’s organizations in the US and around the globe with resources to create spaces where children’s creativity and expression thrive.
