Nina’s own journey as a creative entrepreneur
From marketing consultant to eclectic shop owner
Originally from the Netherlands, she moved to the United Kingdom (Scotland) in 2005. She worked in both countries for twenty years, as marketing manager and audience development consultant in the cultural sector. Already coaching many creatives on marketing and visibility, while still in employment.
After becoming a mum, Nina left her office job (she was never one for a standard 9-5 anyway!). With an 8-month-old baby on her hip, she got the keys to her own vintage furniture shop in the summer of 2012, in rural Aberdeenshire. Juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship, but fueled by creative energy, she grew her business, and built a vibrant community around it. Her efforts did not go unnoticed and In 2015 Nina won an award for her creative contribution to the area.

Business coaching for creatives…
In 2018, having dreamed of a life in the sun for twelve years (Scotland is great, but oh – the weather!), Nina and her family moved to Spain. Nina now works with international clients, offering coaching for creatives all over the world.
When she is not coaching, Nina spends time with her family, painting abstract art, or writing songs for her country-folk band, in which she is the lead singer. She can also be found cycling around Valencia as a tour guide, sharing her passion for culture, and giving people a great experience.
PS: if you are into this, you are probably not surprised to know that Nina is an Enneagram type 7, and a Human Design type Manifesting Generator. Basically, a creative powerhouse with a lot of positive energy, and never short of ideas!
