About Nicky Sherwood - Founder of From Britain With Love

Nicky has been drawing, creating and making things ever since she was old enough to pick up a crayon. After a degree in Three Dimensional Design, Nicky worked in marketing and new product development, dreaming up new products for companies such as L’Oreal, John Frieda, and ethical brands The Body Shop and Duchy Originals.
The idea for FromBritainWithLove.com came about while Nicky was working for organic food brand Duchy Originals, where she was involved in sourcing British made products. On her travels around the country she met many inspirational artisans and producers, with fantastic stories to tell, and was surprised that there was no single website where these businesses could all be found together in one place.

Having also worked as a freelance style writer for House Beautiful magazine, Nicky wanted the site to be more than simply a directory, and was determined to convey some of the excitement and passion that she’d felt when talking to these inspirational business owners. With its stylish directory and exciting editorial features, Nicky hopes that the site will not only be a celebration of home-grown talent and creativity, but will also inspire people to rediscover the pleasure of making things for themselves.

Nicky is passionate about craft, design and travelling around Britain. She currently lives in West London with her husband and three year old son, and dreams of moving to Cornwall!
