For Kurt Merki Jr., Creative Confidence Lands a Dream Partnership

The company replied that it was not in need of a designer at that time. A year later, Merki reworked his designs and sent them in again, this time receiving an invitation to visit the factory, which led to an offer of collaboration directly from the CEO. He insists the secret is never giving up. “I’ve done over 300 designs of a lot of things that didn’t go through,” he says. “You have to be persistent. If it doesn’t work by the 300th time, then you’re getting started, then you’re warmed up.”
