Story & Lesson Highlights with Nicole Willig of West Hollywood

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Nicole Willig. Check out our conversation below.

Nicole, a huge thanks to you for investing the time to share your wisdom with those who are seeking it. We think it’s so important for us to share stories with our neighbors, friends and community because knowledge multiples when we share with each other. Let’s jump in: What is something outside of work that is bringing you joy lately?
Freestyle painting LIVE on TikTok everyday, and then my paintings are being bought from my TikTok shop.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello! I’m Nicole Willig, and I own Kiki’s Krafts in Los Angeles. I’m one of the only mobile crafting companies in LA. Kiki’s Krafts offers a wide range of crafting stations for all ages for events, parties, fairs, etc. We come to you! The most popular craft stations are: friendship bracelet/keychain making, sand art, and toddler hand painting. Every time you hire Kiki’s Krafts for your event you will get personalized service. (For example, a Minecraft themed kids party will get special Minecraft beads, etc.)

Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My mother saw me clearly before I saw myself. My mother knew I’d be a creative. She put me in every art, dance, music, etc class there was!

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
If I could say one thing to my younger self it would be, “You can get through anything life throws at you!” It took me a long time to realize that I could get out of my small town, that I could survive in Los Angeles, that I could start my own business.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
The public version of me IS the REAL me! I’m from the east coast, so I’m blunt and honest. I’m an open book. I’ll admit when I’m not great at something, and always tell you when I’m great at something(which is mostly everything, haha)..

Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What will you regret not doing? 
I’ll regret not going to beauty school to learn how to do hair. I’ve always wanted to do hair, but there’s no time!
