ABOUT US
Nickie Olivier, President, CEO and Head of Design
As president, CEO and head of design and product development at Curly Girlz, Inc., Nickie Olivier’s days are filled with new challenges and opportunities on a daily basis. Life with Curly Girlz is never dull or boring. Every day is a new adventure just waiting to be explored!
As a homemaker while her kids were young, Nickie supplemented the family income with various positions in resort lodging, office management, customer service and many other entrepreneurial endeavors, but never felt her creative spirit was used effectively. Nickie found a way to capture and cultivate her artistic talent and spirit with Curly Girlz in 2006 and has never looked back.
When Nickie is not developing new and interesting Curly Girlz, she can be found gardening, quilting, sewing, or creating music.

What makes Nickie passionate about Curly Girlz?
"I am continually energized by the creative possibilities that inspire the design of these tiny people. Seeing the process flow from idea to reality is rewarding, but watching customers react to our product is incredibly satisfying. First, they are caught by curiosity, then surprised and delighted to instantly relate to our product that is unique, memorable and affordable."
