The team
Venessa Dace and Debbie Hemp are the brains (blood, sweat and tears) behind the sprogs n’ dogs brand. Venessa has a background in magazines; Debbie worked in the advertising industry for many years. The birth of their respective tots (Jozi and Franki – Venessa’s two gals, and Liam – Debbie’s wee lad) meant they came into constant contact with delightful kids goodies that they felt inspired to share and showcase online. sprogs n’ dogs is the product of this desire.
Venessa is the colourful, slightly chaotic, wordsmith on the blog, Debbie the infinitely organised marketer with a keen eye for design. Their passions include their sprogs, their dogs and this here blog.
We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we love putting it together.
