hi there!

My full name is Brandeis. Yep, I was named after Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis. Weird, but true. My middle name is Nicole, and voila, now you’ve got my biz name down.

But, since we’re friends, you can call me Brandi. Everybody does :)

I’m a Bay Area native who now calls Houston, TX home after a decade and a half of living in NYC. (#spreadlovethebrooklynway)

I started my professional career in the Learning & Development field, focusing on education policy and reform after earning degrees in Education and Africana Studies from Brown University and my Master’s of Education from UC Berkeley.

While in the education world, I quickly earned a reputation for style along with training and development, and found myself coaching my colleagues on looking their best. 

Next, a dramatic weight gain from endometriosis helped me to figure out the importance of fit alongside style, and styling for fit and body shapes is now at the core of everything I do. It’s what gets the women I work with to have breakthroughs and ahas that honor the bodies they’re living in, while dialing up the style a whole lotta notches.

After years of moonlighting as a stylist — and an intensive, invite-only training with Stacy London from TLC’s What Not to Wear — I merged my two passions and founded Brandeis Nicole, a boutique personal styling firm focused on style and confidence coaching for women.

I am all about helping women to shine and live their joy and their purpose out loud. We start with style, and not the frou frou fashion BS stuff. Style that’s authentic to you, that works for real life, and that doesn’t make compromises because life is hectic. Yes, you can be comfortable and stylish. I’m here to inspire you and to teach you how.

Getting your style life together opens the door for mindset shifts and cosmic goodness everywhere else in life. Sounds cray, I know, but when you start believing your own hype, using the most vulnerable thing we do everyday — getting naked and putting clothes next to our skin — when you feel good about that, girl you’re about to feel good about everything. I’ve got you.

You ready? You can become part of the Brandeis Nicole family in a bunch of ways. The more connection, the better.
