À propos de Karyn Veneklasen

Muse & Co. Outdoors was started in March, 2020 when our 16-year old architectural design and build company was shut down overnight by Covid-19. We knew we had to keep our incredible team of designers and craftspeople employed, or risk losing them. So we hunkered down to remotely design and build our prototype Sprinter van conversion using our print department's delivery van. Fast forward three months, and my husband and I took off for a month's trip up the West Coast. Everywhere we went someone wanted to buy our van - or one just like it, and voila, our new business was born! We offer two van conversion configurations: a two-passenger and a five-passenger, both build on the proven Mercedes Benz Sprinter platform. Our team of designers and craftspeople, the talent behind breathtaking immersive spaces at Google, Facebook and beyond, are bring intuitive design and flawless functionality to the Sprinter van experience. All of our vans are built using sustainable and healthy materials that are better for the environment and good for you, because that's the right thing to do. We’ve spent countless hours considering the materials, components, and layouts of our models. The result? A high-quality camper van that functions flawlessly and feels like home—all you have to decide is where you’ll take it. Muse & Co. was founded in 2005 in Oakland, CA. Our eclectic team of designers, artists, shop specialists, and others come from varied educational and professional backgrounds—with roots in everything from custom home building to film set design. We've curated breathtaking immersive spaces in some of the most notable commercial buildings in California—including the headquarters of Facebook, Google, Visa, and more. The mission of Muse & Co. Outdoors is simple: To offer camper vans that bring your outdoor adventures within reach through flawless functionality and intuitive design. We hope you love our van as much as we do.

Karyn's Sprinter was the perfect vehicle for our trip to Death Valley. It was a pleasure to drive with it's upgraded suspension. Once at camp, whether with facilities or not, the van provided all we needed. It's robust electrical system kept a fridge and cooler running the whole trip.
It was nice knowing that Karyn's company Muse Outdoors had built out the van and was available to assist with technical issues or questions. All and all a great adventure for a first timer to Death Valley.

We had an amazing trip to Santa Cruz with the van. Karyn went above and beyond to coordinate and ensure we had a great time. The bed was cozy, the heating system for a cold night was dreamy, and the cabinets had all the amenities we needed. Highly recommend!

My husband and I have always wanted to rent a sprinter that was fully loaded and ready for an adventure. Well, Mini Me was the answer! Reserving the van was super easy and Karyn, who is the owner, was very responsive. She answered all of our questions and we felt assured we would be taken care of. The van was more than we ever expected. The attention to detail was noticed. The interior was beautiful and all supplies were taken care of. All we needed was our food, wine, music, clothing, maps and our 2 dogs.
I felt like we were in a stylish jet or sailboat! The cabinetry corners were rounded and smooth so one will not hurt themselves if bumped into. The Van drove great and we loved the blind spot camera system on the side mirrors so you will not crash into someone while changing lanes! We drove to Death Valley which was perfect in the van. We even camped off the grid for a couple of nights and were kept warm by the heater which was on most of the night. We sat out at night on the outdoor chairs they included and gazed at the beautiful stars. Perfect!!! Thank you Karyn and her husband Noah! We enjoyed Minime and I plan on going on a short road trip with some friends in the near future!

We had a blast driving to Oregon for the 2023 eclipse with our two young girls and dog! Karyn was very quick to respond to our questions throughout the registration process and during our trip, and we really appreciated her flexibility in our pickup/drop-off times. The van was a lot easier to drive than I expected (the cameras and proximity warning indicators were super helpful), and it came well-equipped with just about everything we needed for our trip.

This van was so comfortable and had everything we needed. The design and aesthetics were carefully considered during this build and we would love to rent with this family in the future. Communication was great, location was very close to our home, and it was a comfortable ride.
