About Us

With a background in midwifery, Cécile brings a deeply human approach to design, shaped by a refined sensitivity to comfort, intuition, and the way spaces are truly lived in. Her work is guided by a considered approach to materiality, light, and proportion, creating interiors that feel both calm and enduring. A lifelong traveller, her perspective is informed by years of backpacking and high-altitude trekking, including reaching a 5,000m summit — grounding her vision in simplicity, resilience, and purposeful living. At Vanpuravida, she leads design and client experience, ensuring each van embodies an understated sense of luxury — timeless, balanced, and crafted for life on the road.

Originally from Spain, José brings over 20 years of experience as a qualified electrician, combining technical precision with an uncompromising approach to quality. Since 2018, he has specialised in bespoke campervan conversions, refining a craft defined by detail and durability. A defining motorbike journey across Asia with Cécile laid the foundations for Vanpuravida, shaping a shared vision of travel rooted in freedom, simplicity, and intention. José leads the technical execution of each build, with an exceptional attention to detail and a relentless commitment to excellence. Calm, focused, and solutions-driven, he approaches every project with the same mindset — that nothing is ever an obstacle, only something to be resolved

Outside the workshop, he is passionate about scuba diving and exploration — a mindset that reflects his appreciation for precision, reliability, and well-engineered systems. Quiet and attentive, Tudor brings a calm, thoughtful presence. A careful listener, he approaches each project with consistency and care, ensuring every detail is executed to the highest standard.
