CONNECTING THE TALENTS

May 14th, 2008 by Fabian Pfortmüller

A few weeks ago, I visited the United States together with my colleague Flavio Rump. We first went to New York, where we met Melissa Sconyers, to whom we had been introduced by our designer, Thierry Blancpain. We spent a whole day discussing new ideas with Melissa, who was also very interested in becoming more involved with Sandbox. After leaving New York, we went to Boston to meet our good friends Dave Radparvar and Thianh Lu of Incubaker. Dave, in turn, visited New York a few days later. I introduced him to Melissa, they met – and obviously started to develop new ideas at once, as Melissa writes on her blog.

At Sandbox, we’re very excited about that, not only because we can’t wait to hear more about the projects that Dave and Melissa want to work on, but also because this is exactly the kind of thing that we want to do: Finding young talents from all over the world and bringing them together.
