Nicolet "Nico" Barclay is a designer, illustrator, and creative partner based in Boise, Idaho. With a background in graphic design and illustration, she brings a blend of artistic intuition and strategic thinking to every project—whether she’s crafting a custom Shopify site, building a visual brand identity, or illustrating a whimsical creature.

Raised in the mountain towns of South Lake Tahoe and Coeur d’Alene, Nicolet draws deep inspiration from nature, storytelling, and the rhythm of the trails where she runs. Her art practice includes digital illustration, watercolor, and gouache, often centered around character-driven stories that spark imagination. Her children's books, Ana the No-Toed Sloth and Something is Different, reflect her love of travel, personal growth, and parenthood.

Today, she works independently with founder-run brands, offering Shopify design and development, custom branding, and illustration services that help bring clarity, personality, and polish to online businesses.

Her illustrated products are available through her shop, nicotato, online and at Idaho Made (108 N. 6th St., Boise, ID 83702).
