I'm Brandie Carlos (She/Her/Ella), I'm born and raised in East Los Angeles, California. I'm a Millennial First Gen Latina with strong Gen X influence (Thanks, Tia's!). I have a unique perspective because my first business was selling Mexican candy out of my backpack in first grade. Business was my first love. Since then I've created multiple businesses from scratch, been featured in Oprah magazine, and created Therapy for Latinx the first National Mental Health Directory for the Latinx community. The top questions people have for me are "How do I start an online business?", "What tech stack should I use?", "How do I hit six and seven figures in my business?".

become a tool available to create a more equitable world. People around the world are building businesses and movements with an internet connection, a laptop, and a lot of heart. It's breaking poverty cycles, creating a tangible way to take up space, and giving voice to people who never had a platform before. There is magic in it, I know first hand because the internet has opened doors for me I never imagined.
Throughout the past 15 years I've supported businesses, non profits, and social movements by managing their social media presence, building their website, email marketing, and everything in between. What has been so valuable about that time is that it has allowed me to see how all of these areas work together to create a cohesive and sustainable online business that can scale to multiple six and seven figures. The internet has

I am first and foremost Genoveva's Granddaughter. I'm also the oldest of 7, a 3/5 Projector in Human Design. Capricorn Sun, Gemini Moon, and Pisces Rising. Mama my calico cat Junie. I saw Prince perform 5 times in concert. Most people don’t know that I love recreating restaurant recipes at home with a gluten free twist, I have an addiction to Architectural Digest, love taking road trips, and collecting books (522 and counting). I’m determined to show up as the best version of myself because I know that the internet is a tool that can be used for a more equitable world. We can use it for activism, to create generational wealth, and a place where representation is no longer the minimum. This is what keeps me going and focused on my goals.

Brandie brings so much clinical and business expertise to the table. Not only is she genuinely invested in seeing you flourish and grow, but she is consistent with continuing to be of support and provides transparency. She is in depth and has never not been able to answer a question I might have about my website, accessibility or business ideas. What I particularly love about Brandie is how accessible she is. Being on different marketing platforms, I’ve never been able to access a live person. I also can’t get feedback or discuss possible ideas with improving my profile, additional business ideas/services, etc. Brandie provides clarity, guidance and more. Brandie has been able to reassure me when self doubt kicks in. She continues to guide me with ideas on how to market myself and how to cultivate a website that best represents me. She provides immeasurable knowledge and kindness with her services, something that is of great value to me. I highly recommend Brandie for any and all marketing business ideas and services. She’s definitely one of a kind!
