Nikki Cade is the founder of Mini Muse Shop, where a passion for art and the joy of childhood collide. In 2020, she embarked on a journey to breathe new life into the timeless tradition of clothespin dolls, giving them a modern twist that has resonated with many.

In 2023, she successfully launched a subscription-based model with her Muse of the Month Club where members enjoy a new doll each month that are often inspired by her own childhood memories. What started as a seasonal offering has now blossomed into Mini Muse Modern Clothespin Dolls™, Mini Muse Modern Heirloom Dolls™, accessories, creative play items, and more!
