Why Keppel & Kismet

Crafted from a passion for artisanal excellence

At Keppel & Kismet, our foundation is built upon Nichole's deep-rooted love for creation, a passion passed down from her grandmother. From a young age, Nichole found joy and fulfillment in crafting unique treasures, each imbued with her own creative spirit. This love for creating evolved into a desire to share her gift with others, inspiring her to delve into the world of corporate gifting, personalized creations, and workshops.

Driven by her belief in the power of intentional giving, Nichole founded Keppel & Kismet as a platform to unite her love for creation with her dedication to sustainability and community. She champions the support of local makers, recognizing the value of preserving traditional craftsmanship while embracing modern sustainability practices. For Nichole, gifting is more than just exchanging material possessions; it's about forging genuine connections and leaving a lasting impact.
