About Us
Designs By Nishy, led by Nichelle Thompson, provides the ultimate solution for Local & Destination Weddings and Special Events, in Jamaica, with stylish designs, thorough planning and efficient production.
Designs By Nishy was inspired by a passion for event designing, the love for flowers and nature and quite simply, the sense of satisfaction from making people happy.
Nichelle is a graduate of Manchester High School. She earned her BSc. in Economic and Statistic from the University of the West Indies, Mona.
After completing her undergraduate degree, Nichelle began working with the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort in the Food & Beverage Department as an Executive Assistant. Her main duties involved menu design, payroll, inventory management, purchasing etc. Shortly after, she was offered a position in the Sales Department, where she earned several certifications within her capacity. In addition, she had spearheaded several sales initiatives unique to the resort. Almost a year later, she willingly assumed the role of Marketing & Communications Executive. With a yearning to return to Jamaica, she began working in the financial sector with Stocks & Securities Ltd in their Marketing department. She moved back to Grand Cayman almost two years later to pursue her dreams of working in the Weddings & Events industry. She gained knowledge of the industry with handling the sales, planning, administration, production and design for weddings and events. This experience was the driving factor for Nichelle to begin her own company – Designs By Nishy and the motivation to become a Certified Professional Wedding & Event Planner with the Wedding Planning Institute (WPI) in 2012.
She has taken part in multi-million dollar weddings - like that of Baseball Superstar Jimmy Rollins in Grand Cayman. Her experience also covers the planning and coordinating of corporate functions for several multi-national corporations, like Red Stripe, Red Cross, HSBC, Deloitte & Touche, Scotia Bank, Best Dressed Foods - just to name a few.
"For me, it's about enjoying what you do, so much that it shows in the quality of work that you deliver and of course, exceeding your clients expectations - Making Ordinary, Extraordinary!"
