It all begins with the heart.

Dei pours her heart into every brushstroke, every word, every stitch. Whatever it is, the way she shares her story through her art makes all the difference.

Dei Johnson contains multitudes. An artisan, author, illustrator, coach, mama, wife, sister and friend. With her hands, she has spun custom pieces of art and word that work to promote mental and emotional health and well-being.

She is the creator and illustrator of Give Yourself Grace: A hand-lettered Self-care Journal dedicated to discovering what’s humming below the surface and how to write it out.

Dei Johnson’s why is her family.  Her magnum opus is the family she is building with her husband, which includes their four children.  She is forever grateful to them for sharing her with her gift.
