“I made Schnerds because I wanted to create something that makes people feel less alone.”
Brooklyn, NY Β· Toy Fair 2026 Award Winner
Left 20 years in corporate to make something with a soul. Born on a 114-foot mural in Belgrade, Serbia, Schnerds was Chris’s answer to a world that had forgotten how to be present with itself.
