Denise Johnson is an award-winning designer, director, CEO and chief strategist of DSJ Designed.  As is an innovator, creator, visionary, and trendsetter, Denise is redefining what it means to be a woman CEO in today’s society. 

Growing up Denise was challenged with a diversity of respiratory issues resulting in much time spent in and out of the hospital. As an outlet and mental escape from the day-to-day in-patient routines she became very drawn to creative design. Practicing her craft over and over, learning how to execute meticulous details and building relationships all stemmed from the confinements of a hospital bed. Shortly after high school Denise began building clientele and in 2018 DSJ Designed became an official trademarked entity. 

As a natural introvert creativity has always been a way of expressing herself and exploring new ideas. Denise has earned several awards for providing exceptional graphic design support to corporate employees, hundreds of field offices, and ongoing projects within one of the largest, charismatic, religious organizations in the world which is comprised of a rapidly growing membership of over six million people worldwide.  

When Denise is not designing graphics, teaching courses or meeting with clients, she spends her time being a mother to her three children and a wife to her husband of 20 years. These are her greatest joys and most proud accomplishments.  In addition to all of her achievements Denise is also a marketing and branding strategist who travels nationally as speaker sharing her journey and business expertise with other entrepreneurs. 

Denise pairs a broad range of creative leadership experience in brand strategy,graphic design and marketing. Her signature designs and unique creative insight have produced a multiplicity of unparalleled campaigns and corporate narratives.

Denise is focused on sharing her expertise and expanding the DSJ Designed brand by utilizing her artistry techniques and detailed-oriented skill to drive team collaboration, increase client relationships, and deliver high impact creative solutions for all business genres.
