Our Story | All about how Wanderbug began

As an outdoor pursuits lover for decades I have always yearnt to be able to explore all that mother nature has to offer and in 2020/21 my partner Benn and I brought our adventurer dreams to life in the form of Barbara - our semi-self build Sprinter campervan conversion (we cheated and had the more complicated things like roof vent and windows and electrics fitted for us)
 Working on Babs in the freezing winter of 2021
We travel throughout the year therefore keeping the van at a comfortable temperature through hot and cold conditions is vital, so functional window covers were part of our planning from the start.

As a naturally creative person with 20 years experience in graphic design and interior styling gave me the confidence to tackle the window covers myself and was delighted with the results of campervan blinds which provided privacy, thermal insulation, versatility and a lovely styling addition.

After managing to fit my yearning for the outdoors and travel around a desk bound career, I realised I needed a lifestyle change to allow for more flexibility and a different outlet for my creativity. 

So Wanderbug was born in early 2021, and now I hope to be able to pour my enthusiasm for #Vanlife and great design into providing all of those benefits to other campervan owners, aswell as designing and hand making lots of little accessories and extras which make campervan life nice and cosy.

Every window blind is carefully designed and handmade by myself from start to finish, and steadily more members of the family are coming on board - my son Alex is my packaging expert and my step daughter Maisy helps with fabric cutting amongst other things! And Benn helps out at fairs/shows and provides moral support all year round!
I really hope you love what I create as much as I do.
