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

Hi Traemel, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Knowing what you possess! You have to know what you possess and when you know exactly what you have, the sky is the limit. I never limited what was placed in me and taking the risk to go all out. We all can reach success, but it takes us knowing that success is reachable. I stand on success, but much more on purpose. Knowing that I have a purpose and I’m here for a purpose is the main factor behind it all. That’s why my brand is called, Here For A Purpose Creative Studios LLC.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Hello. My name is Traemel Crawford and I am a minister, content creator, graphic designer, videographer, podcaster and podcast producer, and the CEO of Here For A Purpose Creative Studios LLC.

Before being named Here For A Purpose Creative Studios LLC, it was formally known as Here For A Purpose Graphics and was birthed in March 2016. Here at Here For A Purpose Creative Studios, we specialize in graphic design, podcasting, video editing and so much more! As a business owner, what makes me more proud is helping others to believe in their purpose and being in their purpose. I stand highly on purpose and helping others, especially those who are looked as underdogs towards their purpose. It’s amazing from 2016 to this present day, I have designed for various personnel such VH1’s Stevie J, Chandra Currelley, Jhonni Blaze, WAAW Shout 94.7FM and various other celebrities, local artists and companies. It’s nothing but the grace of God that has catapulted Here For A Purpose Creative Studios to where it is today.

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 would take them to places like Stars and Strikes, riverwalk, James Brown statue, and the trampoline park.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for various people who I look up to personally and just from a distance of not knowing them from a personal level as well. I wouldn’t be where I am if I didn’t hear people like my late grandfather William Crawford Sr., Kobe Bryant, Pastor Mike Todd, Pastor Tony Miller Sr., and Kirk Franklin. These individuals here are people who have either spoken to my life personally, or individuals I look up to from afar and have glean from their own personal stories of success. Their quotes, their stories, their drive and their hunger to be the best in their craft is what motivated and helped me to this journey of success and purpose.

The late great Kobe Bryant and his mamba mentality is what strikes me the most and there’s a saying that he states, that I hold to this day. Kobe stated this quote, “Everything negative — pressure, challenges — is all an opportunity for me to rise.”
