The Story of Snowfox
The ‘fox’ in Snowfox comes from 20th century thinker Isaiah Berlin’s famous essay “The Hedgehog and the Fox”. The fox is a metaphor for diverse knowledge and a multidimensional approach, a philosophy we believe in and follow. The hedgehog, on the other hand, is more focused on a single idea and hence goes deeper, a principle we see in many of the grassroots interactions on our journeys. The fox is the gatherer of multiple experiences, and hence the driving force of our varied escapes.
