To celebrate turning one year, we will be sharing with you some of our most interesting milestones with supporters that helped us kick-start our business.
On the 12th of April 2023, we were tuned in to the Arabian Radio Network Dubai Eye 103.8 listening to Off Script with Sonal Rupani, Robbie Greenfield and Chris McHardy when we sent them a message to share our business, Flip Fingerboarding, founded by a then 10 year old Connor Maxwell.
While on air, Sonal placed the order for one of our really special fingerboard ‘Neurodiversity 1.1’.
Art inspiration:
Connor was so inspired when he won the ‘Design-A-Pin’ competition run by his school for the Neurodiversity week. He designed a 4-pin puzzle where each puzzle piece is an independent pin that connects together and form as one. The competition being that this pin will be worn by the specialized staff so that our children will know whom to approach for support. Connor imagined the 4 staff coming together, removing their pin and putting them as one full piece. It’s very witty and fun at the same time.
Just like his original puzzle design, there are four fingerboards that make-up the ‘Neurodiversity’ collection (Neurodiversity 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 & 1.4).
Sonal has one of them.
Connor personally delivered her fingerboard with a cheeky message that says “From the greatest CEO ever.”
Sonal Rupani, thank you so much for supporting our business.
