About Nicole - Founder of Thornapple Tech

Helping Real Businesses Use Tech That Works

👋🏻 Meet Nicole

Hi, I'm Nicole Bouwman - wife, mom of two, and founder of Thornapple Tech. I help small business owners like you stop stressing over the tech part of business, like websites, Google, and all the other techy online stuff that keeps you from doing what you love.

You don't need to be tech savvy. You just need someone who gets it - and gets it done.

This is Where Smart Systems Come In

I help business owners like you trade the chaos for clarity with tools that actually save time and reduce manual work.

Things like:

  • Sending automatic review requests after a job is complete

  • Filing client info into shared folders automatically

  • Creating fillable forms that update your spreadsheets and documents

  • Book tools that sync across calendars

  • Emails that go out without you lifting a finger

Whether you need a full custom CRM or a simple tool to streamline a specific piece of your operations, I'll build something that is simple, easy to use, and saves you time.

My Background

A Tech-Minded Friend Who Actually Listens

Before starting Thornapple Tech, I spent about 4 years working behind the scenes in operations and admin - fixing problems, building systems, and translating tech into plain English. I saw how much time gets wasted when tools don't work well together. That's what led me here.

Today, I serve local businesses that want simple, clear solutions - not trendy buzzwords or upsells.

Values That Guide Me

What You Can Count On

✨ Clarity. No jargon. Just smart, clear communication.

🤝 Integrity. I say what I'll do and follow through.

🙌 Faith-Rooted. I work heartily, as for the Lord (Col. 3:23).

🧩 Simplicity. Every system should save time, not add steps.

🏡 Community. I believe in supporting local and small.

Got questions? you're not alone.

I'm not great with tech - will I be able to mange what you set up?

Nope! That's what the call is for. I'll ask a few questions, listen to what's going on, and recommend what fits your business best - nothing more, nothing less.

Most projects get moving within a week of our first call. Quick fixes and Google Business Profile setups can sometimes be done in just a few days.

I mostly help small to medium sized service-based businesses. Contractors, local shops, restaurants, who want things done right and done simply.
