Sabre Mrkva - Kid's Product Development

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. As ecologically minded as she is business-savvy, Sabre studied Industrial Design at the Pratt Institute in NYC with a focus on sustainable design. Sabre’s love of all things DIY and her experience as a mom of 2 gives her the passion to create wholesome, satisfying play experiences for every child.
