Hello! We are
Rachel and Nicole.
Here's a bit about us*
*We are currently writing this at 1am in sweats. Just keeping it real.
After running our own businesses & having each other’s backs along the way, we have really learned that one of the most important things you can have to succeed is community. We decided to create a space of learning, support, growth & transparency through connection with other business owners. That’s how Product Based Besties was born. We started as a Facebook group and have built it into so much more. Oh. And we are sisters. If you can’t tell.
Creator, Mom, business owner, food snob, trash TV watcher, true crime lover, serial entrepreneur, lover of sweatpants, dog owner.. That about sums me up.
I started my own business as a way to have a creative outlet and help support my family financially. I was chasing the dream of having a flexible schedule while also taking care of my first baby full time. My Graphic Design Studio was built on late nights and squeezing things in during naps.
Fast forward through so much trial and error, lots of tears, exciting wins, a hell of a lot of growth - I can finally say I have figured out how to run a sustainable business. And I love that it means I get to help product based businesses evolve their brand & website presence to a place they are proud of & ready to show up & sell their amazing products with. I am so excited to be here, learn from you, & share my expertise.

Hi, I’m Nicole. I think I’m pretty funny. I like puns, popcorn, and online shopping. Oh, and really sweet lattes. I’m basic but I’m cool with it.
I started Studio Ramiii, an earring design shop, 3 years ago in hopes of earning a little extra money and taking my family to Disneyland. We haven’t gone yet (oops) but I did buy us a house so that’s cool. I’m a mom to 2 cuties, and we have a lot of frozen taquitos and a decent amount of iPad time. I love running a business. I love researching, optimizing, and figuring out ways to grow and scale a business.
I get so much joy out of hyping up and supporting other businesses. I am proud of what I have built, and I know what I have learned can help other like-minded badasses grow businesses dreams are made of. Thanks for being here, let’s be best friends.
