On the Chelsea Creative website, Nicole says she is a “lover of cool, contemporary but timeless branding design.”
She has run the company since 2016, and has helped a number of brands across the world bring their vision to life through services like website design and social media templates.
Nicole began dating rugby star Jamie shortly before the 2015 rugby World Cup, with the couple becoming more serious around the time of the tournament.
At the time, Jamie had recently signed for the English Premiership side Harlequins.
The star, who has graduated with degrees from Cardiff University School of Medicine and University of Cambridge, also represented Bath and Cardiff during his years as a player.
Nicole and Jamie relocated to Sydney, Australia, in 2022 to be closer to Nicole’s family, who live in the suburb of Manly.
Welsh Jamie revealed in a 2023 interview that moving Down Under had always been in the plans for the couple.
Per Wales Online, he said: “Having fallen in love with an Australian girl, I guess I knew my life was going to take me to Sydney at some point.
“Nicole has followed me around for the last five or six years with rugby.
“It was a question of when, not if, I was going to end up in Australia.”
Ahead of the 2024 Six Nations it was confirmed that Jamie would return to the UK to be a pundit for the tournament.
