Hey, I’m Nicole. I’m the founder of StartUp FASHION, a community and resource helping aspiring independent fashion brand owners to launch and grow their businesses.
I began this business over 12 years ago and have helped thousands of brands to launch their fashion products into the world using our proven, step-by-step blueprint.
I focus on teaching fashion business mindset and launch strategy to brand owners who have entrepreneurial dreams and the determination to bring them to life.
A professional encourager, I believe that the only way to be truly successful is to build a business around the life you want to live.
