Needless to say, the project went very well, and her first creation is still proudly displayed in his kitchen to this day. From this point, Nicky decided to pursue her love for gift creation as a hobby alongside her fulltime job, but as orders increased it became apparent that she couldn’t keep doing both. With a young family, the flexibility of self-employment was appealing, so she decided to leave the corporate world of recruitment after 13 years and start her own business, initially called Marvel-ous Creations by Nicky. Now, eight years later, Nicky’s business has undergone impressive evolution. Having started out selling only to the UK, it now also sells via multiple channels across Europe and the US. As well as this, rather than working at her kitchen table, she now works from a designated workshop with a growing team. In 2022, Marvel-ous Creations by Nicky underwent a rebrand due to its diversifying product lines, leading to the birth of NicolaJaneCreates.
