About Us
We're on a Mission
Keppel and Kismet is the brain child of Founder and Chief Maker, Nichole Sullivan. Nichole can remember being a maker from her teenage years. Back then it looked like baking cakes and pies, following in her paternal grandmother's footsteps. The joy of making coupled with a persistent entrepreneurial spirit motivated her to find the thing she most enjoyed doing and turn into a business. Nichole most enjoys making things that spark joy and inspire creativity and encouraging others to find their way. We're on a mission to help uplift others by helping artists create products to gain greater access to the marketplace and to provide opportunities to members of our community who are ready to learn something new.

Help Us Lift Others
WE ARE MAKERS on a mission to INSPIRE YOUNG PEOPLE toward entrepreneurship and HELP WOMEN THRIVE. We do that by hiring interns! We engage them in all facets of what we do and expose them to the behind the scenes of running a small business. We then commission them to create designs for our products with hopes of being among their first customers!
We want to pay them for their work or else they may choose to work some place that will pay them, but won’t show them they can’t work for themselves. This is where you can help us. Your donations will go toward paying our interns. Our interns include high school students and women survivors of trauma learning to thrive.
