My name is Nico Bean and I am 17 years old. I started my entrepreneurial ​journey four years ago in the summer of 2021.

Throughout the past four years of business, I have been in three art shows at Bermuda Society of Arts, I have sold my art at 40+ pop up stalls (including BUEI Christmas markets, Harbour Nights, Washington Mall, and many more artisan markets), and I have delivered commissioned pieces to customers both in Bermuda and overseas.

In November of 2024, I won the youth category of BEDC's Wave of Opportunity Pitch Competition. Shortly after, I won the Most Enterprising Youth Entrepreneur award from the BEDC.

I want to inspire and teach the younger generation about the power of entrepreneurship. I started Flow by Nico because I simply loved to paint and what I have accomplished (and learned) since has been an incredible journey of growth and personal development.

No matter your passion — whether it’s selling lemonade, making jewelry or landscaping, you too have the ability turn it into a profitable business just like I did.
