Sabre Mrkva isn’t your average toy designer. She’s the mastermind behind Bright Stripes, a brand that makes artsy play kits that actually get kids off screens and into creative gear. With an industrial design degree from Pratt and a background in sustainable design, Sabre knows how to balance wild imagination with just the right amount of practicality. She’s not just slapping colors on things; she’s crafting experiences—products that let kids dive into DIY projects that are fresh, funky, and full of personality.
As a mom of two, Sabre knows exactly what it takes to create something that captures a kid’s attention longer than five minutes. Her secret? Quality materials, bold colors, and designs that let kids feel like the artists they already are. This isn’t just a job for Sabre; it’s a mission to spark creativity and give kids the power to make something that’s all their own.
And while Bright Stripes is a two-person show—Eric von Stein is her partner in colorful crime—Sabre’s fearless energy and design chops are a big reason why Bright Stripes has made such a splash. So, if you’re ready for crafts that make kids (and parents) feel like they’ve struck DIY gold, Sabre’s the one to thank.
