Origin Story

Hello, I'm Nicole, the owner and founder of Side Quest Realms. I am a giant anime and video game nerd. I have been for the better part of my life.

I’ve always been a creative person, going into the field of graphic design, but I’ve also been extremely crafty and love making crafts and cosplays for the anime conventions I go to.

I started this because I wanted to give back to the community that I’ve been a part of for so long. I’m also a big fan of spreading my nerdiness through decorations — all of the products I make are things I’d want all around my own home.

Side Quest Realms is a shop where I want nerds to just be themselves. I want fans to be able to express their love for anime, gaming, and all things geeky in their own space — through creative and unique decor. From canvas art and shadow boxes to handmade terrariums and cozy home pieces, everything I create is made to bring a little extra fandom magic into your everyday world.
