Our Story
I started by helping with custom cups, decals and simple personalized gifts, but over time, it became clear that my hobby was a legitimate business.
In 2014, BananaBug Designs was born, and I am still doing what I’ve always done: helping people find, design and create the perfect gift! After juggling both teaching and creating for 5 years, in 2019 I made the leap from the classroom to focus on BananaBug full time. In early 2021, Andrew left his career in the corporate world and joined BananaBug full time. We are truly a family business, even down to our name! BananaBug Designs is named for our two daughters, Savannah (Banana) and Charlie (Bug).
BananaBug Designs is located in Ellenton, Florida, but we are proud to serve the Parrish, Palmetto, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota areas. We also ship items worldwide. If you are looking for the perfect monogrammed gift or need something to reflect your personal style, you have come to the right place. We love helping people with the following:
- Bridesmaid, wedding shower, graduation or baby gifts
- Vinyl decals for vehicles
- Unique items for the home
- Monogrammed accessories and gifts
- Personalized tote bags and apparel
- Officially licensed Greek and NCAA gear
- Sublimation and embroidery
If you don’t see what you are looking for on our site, chances are, we can create it for you. We love custom orders and take great pride in delivering high-quality products in a timely manner.
