Meet The CostumeBox Team

Nikki Yeaman

Job title: Co-Founder and CEO

My favourite part about working at CostumeBox is...

Our Team. I'm so proud of the way our team supports and encourages one another, and always have our customers best interests at the center of everything they do.

If I wasn’t running CostumeBox I would be...

Well, I started off my career as an archaeologist, so probably that. My fantasy job would be as a florist or an artist, or ideally an artist who paints flowers!

Outside of work you can find me...

Ocean swimming, snorkelling, pottering in my garden with my roses or puddling about with my water colour paints.

My favourite dress-up theme/character...

I have a special place in my heart for Wonder Woman. I wore that costume to the CostumeBox launch party in December 2007. It was an excellent party and we were filled with great excitement, so it always reminds me of that early start-up phase, which was scary but exhilarating.
