Who We Are
The Alphabugs story begins with a young girl who loved children, fun and education just as much as she loved the idea of fun education for all children!
With a background in teaching and childcare, my experience and expertise drove my passion to create a brand that would be loved equally by children, parents and teachers alike.
A brand that would be as appealing as it was practical. A brand that would help teachers and parents to solve challenges practically whilst promoting a sense of self-worth and accomplishment in the children they cared for.
Jitterbugs was born in January of 2009. It started off as a one-woman-show in my garage; launched its first website in August of 2009 and over the next 5 years grew into a popular brand that quickly became loved and trusted by South Africa.
In 2015 I launched the House of Jitterbugs website as a design house for the Jitterbugs brand. I gave printing rights to a licensed Jitterbugs printer who took over the everyday running of the printing side of the business for a three year period.
At the end of that time I was so excited to launch all of my new products and designs that I decided to give the entire company a facelift!
