MY STORY

Hello! My name is Emily and I work from my home in Rolleston, NZ. I live with my Husband - Scott, Two kids - Greta & Lucas, Two dogs - Archie & Teddy and Rabbit - Franklin! (it gets a bit hectic at times!!)

​

It all started back in 2018 after I had Greta. I was always creating her bits and pieces as I couldn't find any personalised things for her in shops. When it was time to return to work I decided to take the plunge and start my own business as there was a definite gap in the market and it took off! Then Covid happened.

 

It was tough for Little Bug, but we soldiered on - even having Lucas right in the middle of it all! I have the most amazing customers and support who kept me inspired and I'm so grateful for where we are today! 

​

Before children, I completed my Diploma in Graphic Design and have worked in Signage for Six Years where I completed my Signwriting Apprenticeship and was also awarded 3rd Place as Apprentice of the year for the industry in 2019.

​

​I curate my artwork and print and assemble as much as possible from home. I want people to feel like they have been given a special opportunity to have something hand made, rather than purchased or mass produced in a store. Every order is made with appreciation and love and know that you are helping to support a wee family and also helping my dream come true!

​

As I work around my Daughter and Son (mainly working during naps and at night) please allow 3-5 working days for "Ready to Send" items to be dispatched and 5-10 working days for custom orders. Of course this can change depending on life schedules and work load. Although if you have any concerns please don't hesitate to contact me and I will do my very best to help you out!
