Vincent Sacchero is the creative mind behind Le Bazaar de Leo (LBDL), he was born in Martinique, a French island in the Caribbean. Despite initially dreaming of a career in law, Leo's journey took a serendipitous turn as he pursued his interests in coding and aesthetics while completing his law degree.

Leo's diverse inspirations and passions coalesced into a fascination with design and technology, ultimately driving him to master woodworking tools and 3D printers. The name "Leo" serves as a subtle homage to the multitasking and multipotentialist skills championed by Da Vinci, reflecting Leo's own dynamic and visionary approach to creativity.
Le Bazaar de Leo embodies Vincent's philosophy of merging traditional craftsmanship with emerging technologies. The concept of "Bazaar" in the name pays homage to the software development model highlighted in Eric S. Raymond's essay "The Cathedral and the Bazaar," a nod to Leo's roots in coding and the open-source movement.
