This Week on Sndbox

---

This very first issue of State of the Sndbox follows the official launch of the Sndbox community and incubator, striving to on-board the very best in creative and entrepreneurial talent around the world and serve as the launchpad for NYC-based newcomers. You can read all about our mission and ambition for Sndbox here.

Each week we’ll introduce the newest @sndbox members and share updates on their work. Be sure to give each of these new Steemians a warm welcome! Follow their profiles for more on their respective interests and practices.

@Mintvilla is Steemit’s very own landscape architect. After being a core part of the STEEM Park process, she is excited to continue the efforts of bridging the Steemit community with Herbert von King Park and landscape development efforts in New York City.

@Kenfinkel is a history professor who explores Philadelphia’s “arts, culture, and past.” Born, raised, educated, and professionally situated in the American city, he treats Philly like a laboratory where narratives and experiences are to be discovered.

@Darius.woo is an architect and artist with a real penchant for design. If he’s not busy creating the next generation of modern buildings, he's sorting through discarded mail and creating beautiful collages. His playful caricatures have made him a very successful Instagramian (over 6,000 followers!) now he's testing his creative chops on Steemit.

Tools For the Community

---

Every week, we at Sndbox will package ideas and strategies so that we can share resources with all Steemians. Yesterday, we revamped @voronoi’s original welcome post to specifically support new creatives and start-ups as an introduction to blockchain and Steemit’s potential to impact their practices. You can read and share the post here.

What to Look Out For This Week

Tomorrow, we’ll present our initial strategies to introduce and on-board professionals in New York City. We’ll be converting our The Creative Blockchain NYC group to focus on Sndbox workshops and presentations to get the hundreds of thousands of writers, architects, artists, performers, comedians, and entrepreneurs hoping to energize their practice with Steemit onto the website and producing within the community.

On Friday, we’ll be diving deep into our team’s goals for Sndbox and how we plan to make, develop, and achieve through the power of the blockchain.
