What inspired you to start your company?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After my two-year journey, myself and my husband (then boyfriend), fell pregnant with our first born, Kai. Facing the worries of new parents-to-be, naturally we wanted the best for our child, but the best comes at a price. We were in search for a stroller, and soon realized that financially this was going to be a setback, as strollers or travel systems that we had viewed at the time were priced between R12000-R25000.\u00a0Now whereas having a travel system is not the start and end of life as we know it, it was an important part of practically improving day-to-day life with baby and being mobile is what gives parents their sanity, so we needed to get one.<\/p>\n

I started browsing the internet abroad and came across a few sites that offered suppliers of travel systems. After enquiring and doing the necessary admin, I soon realized that we were able to bring in a sample with a few changes of our choice for a fee. Seeing as we were in the market to buy one, I allocated our small budget to purchasing the sample.\u00a0Two weeks later it arrived\u2026 After using the stroller for a couple of days in public, putting it through its paces and turning a few heads, I said to my husband \u2018I can sell this\u2019. Naturally being entrepreneurs, we agreed to give it a try and placed a minimum order of 50. Our 50 were sold on pre-order before they landed.\u00a0It\u2019s been an emotional crazy journey since then and three years later we\u2019ve sold over 2000 NulaBugs\u2026 Since then our range has expanded to over 7 different strollers (including a twin stroller), we now also do nursery furniture, rocking chairs as well as 360-degree rotation car seats and accessories.<\/p>\n

I do, my parents and uncles are all self-employed which is a start. I always used to help during school holidays with admin for pocket money which allowed me to be in the heart of where customers queries and feedback ended up. I studied at the incredible FEDISA school of fashion where I did my BA degree in fashion design with a diploma in business marketing which helped with learning how to deal with crazy pressure as well as understanding fabrics and manufacturing which assisted massively when I had to deal with my suppliers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
