About Us


Nicole Brown Foundation

Denise Brown
Co-Founder and President

Denise Brown, Nicole's older sister, was born in Germany and moved to the United States when she was six years old and spent her formative years in southern California. At the age of 17, she was discovered by a local photographer and became a professional model. She lived and worked in Paris and New York City. During her career, she travelled the globe and appeared in many high fashion publications. When Denise decided to retire from this business, she relocated to Southern California and had a son, Sean, and was devoted in raising him.

In 1994, Denise's life changed. She made a conscious decision to help bring awareness to the general public on the tragedy of domestic violence. Denise is a Co-Founder of the Nicole Brown Foundation.
