Greetings!

Hi, I’m Nicole—though you can call me Nikki if you’d like! I’m a proud, lifelong Kamloops local, living in Barnhartvale with my annoying husband and our two boys.

Creativity has always been a part of me—whether it was sketching as a kid, playing the organ and guitar, or sewing handbags and quilts. In 2022, a dear friend introduced me to beading, and I was immediately hooked. It quickly became my passion, and now, when I'm not teaching on call, I bead full-time.

What I love most about beading is the creative process. It’s the perfect outlet for me, as I find inspiration all around me: from the glow of sunsets and seasons to the beauty of flowers, leaves, and even tiny insects. Nature and art constantly provide new ideas for colours and patterns that I bring to life through my creations.

Sharing my work is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do, and that’s why I love being a part of local markets. It’s such a joy to connect with my customers and hear about when and how they wear my pieces.

Thanks for taking the time to get to know me—I’m excited to share my creative journey with you!
