WANDRD bags are tough, thoughtfully designed, and built to keep up with your adventures, whether hiking, photographing, or just navigating your day-to-day. With durable materials and practical design, WANDRD bags offer more than the average backpack or camera bag.
Brothers Ryan and Spencer Cope grew up with entrepreneurial grit and a knack for spotting opportunities. After graduating from UVU — Ryan in marketing and Spencer in business management — they launched WANDRD from their parents’ kitchen table. What started as a Kickstarter project has grown into a multimillion-dollar brand shipping to more than 100 countries, reflecting the Cope brothers’ creativity, bold thinking, and passion for exploration.
“The education I was getting [at UVU] was really top tier. Really enjoyed the professors that I had, the class sizes that I had, and it was really interactive. I feel like you had this really big focus on doing and not just learning.”
— Ryan Cope

“I went to UVU. Loved UVU. It felt like a really good place for me because it felt more accepting and more inclusive, and that’s one of the things I really liked about UVU.”
— Spencer Cope
