Model of the Month

Nicole Ballard

By M4J
Our featured model of the month is a creative and fun-loving high school student who embodies the StrummWear lifestyle. Combining music and fashion, fashion and faith, she has captured the essence of youthful self-expression.

Nicole Ballard, is a 16 year-old high school sophomore who in 2008 founded Strumwear. From an early age, Nicole's interests were centered around creativity and entrepreneurial adventures. From her childhood coffee stand for neighborhood commuters, artsy photography and handmade fashion accessories; Nicole has always pursued the American Dream through self-motivated innovation and creativity.

In the fall of 2007, Nicole "borrowed" a guitar string and pick from her boyfriend with the simple intent of creating a personal keepsake. When she wore this primitive guitar string bracelet to school, friends all asked how much she would charge to make one for them!

Sensing a market in the making, Nicole relayed the experience to her entrepreneurial father and together they began to imagine and explore the business possibilities.

After months of research, supplier negotiations, prototyping and design, StrummWear was born. In her first few weeks of business, Nicole signed over a dozen stores in the Southeastern U.S. and product demand quickly became an unbelievable blessing. The whole family has since joined this fun and exciting adventure.
