We had the good fortune of connecting with Jessi Colwell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jessi, why did you pursue a creative career?
I started Colwell Designs as a hobby, I did this making lung cancer (white ribbon) merchandise because cancer isn’t just pink but that’s the only one people generally see. My mission was to make ribbons of all colors to bring awareness

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
20% of all proceeds buy lunches for patients at the Piedmont Atlanta Brain Tumor Center

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I don’t go into the city to hang out. I like being in the suburbs. I’m contemplating doing the next brain tumor center 5K though

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Samantha Mixon has been my mentor.. I also have a strong relationship with my family when it comes to support! There are many others that I’ve talked to, met and lost in this 9.5 year battle
