Hey beautiful!

Let me tell you a little bit about myself! My name is Taylor Nicole Strycker. I’m a Christian, wife, mama, and the maker behind every pair of earrings at taenickole. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with my incredibly supportive husband, Tyler (yes… Taylor & Tyler). We have the sweetest little IVF miracle, Tobias David Ray, who keeps us on our toes every day, and we’re so excited to welcome our second little miracle, Titus Grant, who is due this August! Before following this dream full-time, I was a certified first-grade teacher, and now I get to create jewelry that helps women feel beautiful and confident while staying home with my growing family.

When I’m not in my clay room, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family and friends, serving at church, or volunteering with the Junior League of Tulsa, where I love giving back to our community. My mom, Michele, is also a huge part of this business and my life. She’s the talented creator behind Studio Chele.

Growing up, I was raised in such a creative household. My nana was amazing at everything crafty: painting, sewing, etc. My mom is incredibly organized and always pushed me to be my best self. She always supports me in everything that I do. When I was younger, I helped my mom with her own small business. She would use her creativity to make crafts and we would travel to craft shows together and I loved it. Now, the tables have turned and she is helping me with my business. 

I decided to finally push myself and open my own business in January of 2019. Of course right now, it's going to be small and out of my home, but someday I dream to have my very own store. I wanted to have a business where I can make something that helps women feel empowered and beautiful. It's such a great feeling when someone stops you and tells you they love what you're wearing. When you're wearing my earrings, this is what I hope happens for you. I hope it gives you that boost in your confidence and makes you feel amazing.

I hope that whoever you are, you know that you are beautiful and loved. I hope that you find something from me that you love and makes you feel amazing. That's the whole point of fashion, isn't it? 

Thanks for being a part of my story. 

Taylor
