Today we’d like to introduce you to Chelli Johnson.
Chelli, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I’m a designer, creative director and content creator from Dallas who enjoys making magic and co-creating with likeminded individuals. I am passionate about following the path of my greatest joy and helping others follow theirs.
Throughout the years, I have always marched to the beat of my own drum. Following the status quo has never been the right route for me. I know my purpose and I know that I am in control over my own happiness and life experience. I believe each day holds a delight. But only if we expect it can we see, hear or feel when it comes to us. Navigating life is an adventure and my intuition is my compass.
My spirit lights up on many topics like fashion, photography, illustration, design, film, creative writing and my passions infinitely expand each day. Nurturing these creative inclinations translated into high-income skills that have powerfully impacted my professional career.
The future holds many surprises that will continue to inspire growth. I’ll learn from masters of all walks of life as I create my own path. My heart is open and humbled by all of the gems of wisdom and I will collect along the way, and the impact I make as a result of living fruitfully from the heart.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It is easy to get caught up in what other people say, think, or feel about you. LIFEHACK: None of that is really any of your business anyway. No matter how good of a job you think you may be doing at it, you truly cannot control what other people think of you. The sooner you can let go of the concern for others to like you, the sooner you can experience an impeccable level of freedom and step into your true power, uninhibited. Upon understanding that I define myself – not anything or anyone else and giving up the need to explain myself all the time, I changed my entire paradigm.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Chelli.Co – what should we know?
A casual creative genius who thrives on bringing big visions into full fruition: I service clients around the world and help create marketing materials for passionate entrepreneurs such as websites, business cards, logos and more. I model, shoot photography and create content for various businesses, influencers, campaigns and onward. I design and create to solve problems innovatively and help others build businesses and lifestyles that they absolutely love. I openly embrace every aspect of who I am – this reflects in what I do and how I do it.
Do you feel like there was something about the experiences you had growing up that played an outsized role in setting you up for success later in life?
Seeing my mom struggle and never give up, bravely enduring and working hard, even against all odds has been a compelling catalyst to my drive and motivated the mindset shift that greatness is my only option. The tokens of wisdom she shares with me make success inevitable. My heart overflows with appreciation for my mom, who sees and supports the best within me, while exemplifying true strength and savvy.
