Meet Jodi Powell | Custom Designer and event planner

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

Hi Jodi, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I would say first making myself proud. I literally built my customs business out the mud and I put a lot of blood, sweat, tears and burn marks lol if you ever worked a heat press or convection over you will understand this. the second factor of success behind my brand will be making my children proud I am a mommy of 4 1 by birth and I was given 3 bonus babies and my niece ( Gabrielle, Nailah, Aaliyah, Brayden and Miyah) who make every effort in building powellful creations well worth it. My family would be my why.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I create life long lasting memorabilia for families all over the world. There is absolutely no end to my custom designing I create shower curtains, Clothing, Party favors, Party decor, weddings and more! My job is to make everything I touch bring joy to the families who request my services. Getting into the Custom and event field yes it was easy but getting every item perfect took a lot of work! but with time and much practice it does get easier. One lesson I learned along the way is that your brand will only work as much as you do, meaning in order to see and enjoy the fruits of your labor you will have to grind everyday and sometimes that means only having two hours of sleep. What I want people to know about myself and my brand is that it means the world to me I gave up sleep to create, I gave up parties and dates to study I really wanted and still want people to see my work and know I truly love what I do.

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?
My favorite spot in the city will be any brunch spot! lol many who know me they know I am a home body so brunches and home gatherings are always my go to. I love little intimate spots like Bear and Honey candle in little five points, movies and restaurants where you can just catch up the belt line eateries have become my favorite place to go,
