Nicole was living a successful but unsatisfying life as a Licensed Athletic Trainer when she met James - a military man and her perfect match. Although she didn’t know it at the time, their meeting became the catalyst for the Mosshound Designs. James encouraged her to explore her creativity and introduced her to his family sheep farm and a new, more aligned path unfolded before her.

She dove in, not knowing where she was going until the art that flowed through her fingers without thought or effort revealed itself. The fibers’ textures and colors flowed one into the next until she stepped back from the loom to see the timeless, distinctive piece that was formed.

Since starting as a mere experiment while looking for something more, Mosshound Designs has grown to include one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces for hotels, event venues, and home-owners across the globe. She gathers her inspiration from the space itself and the stories of its people to create timeless, extraordinary fiber art pieces that are both a focal point and a living story while seamlessly integrating into the space.
