I'm Nikki, the co-founder and sustainability expert at BLAEK Store.

I have years of research and development experience and have worked with factories in Australia and all over the world. I've made garments for myself like my Italian Mum did for me when I was a young and I have huge passion not only for the environment and good business but also for people.

We CAN have it all without having a huge, negative impact and that's really what BLAEK Store is about for me.

When I'm not getting creative on how to use business and community to literally save the world I'm enjoying it! Lizarding on the beach, keeping fit and active physically and mentally and sampling different ice cream flavours with my son Dion. I also work with brands to promote what they do, if it's of benefit to people and planet.

Follow me on @nikkichanch for the latest in my world and if you're a brand that would like to get in touch with me about BLAEK Store or working with me directly send me a DM!

Xx Nikki

I'm Tom the other co-founder of BLAEK Store and Nikki's sounding board.

From surf photographer and Australian made fashion designer to ocean waste expert. The environment has always been a big part of who I am as a person and is reflected in every job i've ever had.

BLAEK Store is an extension of us, our lives, team and community. It's the perfect example of how a small group of people can make such a big impact on the world around them.

Outside of 'work' you'll find me running in nature, surfing, swimming in the ocean, staying fit and healthy, cleaning the ocean with Seabin and chasing a 5 year old boy (my inspo). I also work with a few incredible businesses as an ambassador/ athlete to promote the outdoors, running and my brand of environmentalism. Find me @tombatrouney see what I get up to and reach out if you want to as I'd love to chat.

Hope to see you around!

Tom
