Our Little Family Story: The Heart, The Hubby, and Grandpa’s Designs
The Spark That Started It All
Every great idea starts with a conversation and a little bit of joyful warmth. For Bruntee, it started at a family reunion between my husband, my father-in-law (who we lovingly call Grandpa), and me. My husband and I were happily married three years prior, and Grandpa had recently retired. Though he had a long career, he confessed he felt like he was "wasting away" and still had a burning desire to start a business, to create and contribute.
He mentioned how much the print-on-demand space had grown, but he didn't know how to start. I understood immediately; I’m the digital marketing, e-commerce, and design expert here (my company is Ronah Solutions LLC in California), and I'd even launched my own POD business in Mexico years ago, which sadly folded due to complex logistics. This time, however, the timing felt right, and the mission was personal.
A Family Collaboration: From Concept to Closet
Seeing Grandpa’s enthusiasm, I knew I had to help. I offered my expertise in web development, graphic design, and e-commerce strategy to get them up and running. In a matter of weeks, Grandpa and my husband immersed themselves in the crash course, learning the ins and outs of running an online shop.
And here’s the magic of Bruntee: all the bold, colorful designs you see on our products are truly a family collaboration. Grandpa, my husband, and I pour our hearts into every graphic, making Bruntee a small, multigenerational, family-run business dedicated to sharing our combined creativity with your family.
Our Name, Our Inspiration, Our Promise
You might be wondering where a fun, bold name like Bruntee comes from. It was inspired by our cherished French Bulldog, Bruno! My husband cleverly combined Bruno with Tee (for the clothing), and the moment I heard it, the playful logo and the entire brand vision flashed into my mind.
But the why behind our designs is rooted even deeper in family. We watch our sisters passionately supporting our nephews at sports practices, and our other sister cheering on her daughter at cheerleading events. They are the ultimate champions, dedicated to sharing and caring for their family and friends with all their hearts.
Bruntee is our heartfelt homage to you: the amazing women who serve as the heart of every home, the team moms, the holiday hosts, and the everyday encouragers.
We love you. This is for you.
