ABOUT US
THE TEAM
Tess
Tess heads everything design, marketing and creative for Breeze Buddy. Born and raised in the English countryside, and living between the French Alps before moving to Australia in 2019, Tess has always been an outdoors kid. Sports? You name it she’s tried it. Her professional career has spanned everything digital and brand-led, from experiential marketing, to large scale digital projects, brand manager roles to working on creative partner events within the music industry. She’s a busy Mum thriving in the chaos with beach bum kids and two dogs and couldn’t be happier about it.
Greg
Greg is the product and operations brain of Breeze Buddy. Growing up (very close) to Tess, Greg grew up in the South East of the UK going backpacking to Australia in 2011 and just never left. From kitesurfing to 4WD to mountain biking, Greg doesn't stop moving or adventuring. His professional career has taken him from carpentry to working in Operations for a leading eCom bike company, to turning his hand to fire electrical services, before deciding to start Breeze Buddy with Tess by his side. Always hands on with burning off energy with the kids and dogs, Greg is a devoted father and loves nothing more than a family day at the local Long Reef beach (with 25+ knots).
Craft
Both of us are uncompromising when it comes to quality. We rely on trustworthy gear to live our outdoors life, so we wanted make something we'd buy ourselves. For example, we chose a thicker RPET material so that our products would be resistant over long term use in all environments.
Despite that, we recommend you take good care of your Breeze Buddy and angle it carefully to reduce wear and tear.
Creativity
We wanted something eye-catching, but also something that never took away from the natural beauty of it's surroundings.
We created the patterns on our two windbreakers to mimic naturally occuring patterns - BLUE SWELL looks like wind swell on the ocean from above, and SAND DUNES is designed to reflect the rippling shapes of wind on the sand dunes that line our favourite beaches.
Curiosity
Curiosity fuels discovery, both in at HQ, and our day to day life wherever we are.
We always approach our product design with the same spirit of exploration. Asking "what if?" and "how can we do it better?".
Conscience
Our commmitment to sustainability leads to the best gear. We're transparent by design, and embrace feedback from our community. We'll always be iterating our designs wherever possible to use the best options for the planet.
RPET Material, FSC Certified wood and even the thank you notes we've made to accompany purchases are on un-coated card to reduce plastic use in production.
