Hi there! I'm Nicole O’Brien, the creative force and roadtrip lover behind Unique Pl8z, and I am a proud Rhode Island female entrepreneur.

As a former military spouse, I’ve had the privilege of calling many places around the world home, each with its own special memories that I hold close to my heart.

A few years ago, I set out to create a gift that captured the laughter, and adventures I shared with someone special. With a little creativity and a lot of love, I pieced together license plates from the states we had traveled through, and just like that,

Unique Pl8z was born!

What started as a heartfelt gift has grown into so much more. Unique Pl8z is now a woman-owned business with a mission: to craft art that celebrates life’s adventures and to empower others along the way.

As a proud female entrepreneur, based right here in Rhode Island, I’m passionate about giving back to the community, especially to U.S. Veterans and military spouses.

I’m on a mission to provide employment and create handmade art and home accessories that are as unique as the incredible individuals who bring them to life.

Whether you’re fueled by wanderlust or just want to add a little touch of charm to your space, each piece from Unique Pl8z is a celebration of the journey—and the people—who make it unforgettable.

So, here’s to the adventures that inspire us & the creativity that brings them to life!
