I’m Carla. I’m a creative industry career coach who helps young professionals land internships and jobs in industries like fashion, beauty, lifestyle, entertainment, and more. I specialize in helping you become the top candidate with a strong strategy, boosted confidence, and insider knowledge you won’t find on job boards. I built my own career in fashion from scratch — no connections, no shortcuts — and spent 13 years in PR, marketing, and celebrity relations. I held director-level roles at top fashion PR agencies, led in-house brand teams, and was even invited to the White House by First Lady Michelle Obama for my contributions to the fashion industry. After a successful pivot, I now work as an executive-level marketing consultant for pet health and wellness tech startups, as well as fashion and beauty brands — and I help others do the same: grow, shift, and thrive in careers they love. Over the years, I’ve spoken at universities like Harvard, Columbia, NYU, Ohio State, Kent State, and Fordham, as well as for companies like Bloomingdale’s and Create & Cultivate. To book me for a speaking engagement, please click here. I’m also the founder of FreeFashionInternships.com — a fashion internship listing platform trusted by brands like Hermès, Saint Laurent, Jimmy Choo, Oscar de la Renta, and more. I hold degrees from UC San Diego (B.A. in Communications), Columbia University (M.S. in Strategic Communications), and Harvard (M.A. in Management), and I’ve taught Strategic Fashion Communications and PR at the graduate level as an Adjunct Professor at LIM College. Bottom line? You can take control of your career and do work you actually love. I’m here to help you get there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70eb18c478b1066f4440e3/1584468780104-KQMRIUYFZUUWIHF9FK1T/forbes.jpg About Forbes logo in black text on a white

Coaching for Fashion, Beauty & Creative Industries - I’ll help you land your dream job or figure out your next move. Hi, I’m Carla. I coach students, new grads, and professionals who want to break into, or move on from, fashion, beauty, entertainment, and other creative industries. First job or internship: Stand out and get hired fast. Career pivot or advancement: Break into new roles or level up, even if you’re changing industries. Stuck mid-career?: We’ll map a clear strategy to get you noticed and moving forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e70eb18c478b1066f4440e3/58ee1e34-45cf-4a85-a330-913ce9981392/carlaisabelcarstens2.jpg Career Coaching for Fashion, Beauty & Creative Industries - What if your next big opportunity was just a few conversations away? Many of my clients’ breakthroughs started with a single call. Sometimes, all it takes is the right conversation to see what’s possible and take your next big step. Do any of these sound like you?: “I’m stuck in a job that isn’t going anywhere.” “I can’t get past the first or second round of interviews, or worse, I’m not getting any.” “I’m frustrated, discouraged, and losing confidence.” “I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, and I have zero industry connections to help me figure it out.” “My dream career feels completely out of reach.” You’re not alone. Most people try to figure it out by themselves, but without a clear strategy, it’s easy to stay stuck in the cycle. This is where I help creative industry professionals move forward. Drawing from my own career in fashion, beauty, and tech, I’ll help you: Identify what’s not working in your job search or career pivot Build a custom, actionable plan to secure interviews and offers Move confidently toward your dream career, even if you feel stuck or disconnected
