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

Hi Juliann, what role has risk played in your life or career?
I think taking risks is a necessary part of both life and business. The common saying is: “no risk, no reward.” Any new business is a risk, but if you don’t take the initial chance, you’ll never reap the potential reward.

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.
Screen-printing and tie-dying are my chosen form of artistry. Hand printing and dying each article of clothing creates a unique piece for each individual, ensuring no two are the same. I like the idea of every item of clothing being a one-of-a-kind piece. Professionally, it’s been a long road to where I am now, but I’m grateful for the journey. The support of my family, friends and loyal customers along the way has been a true blessing. I’ve learned to enjoy the process and trust my passion. I hope Strike Apparel encourages others to embrace their individuality, choose adventure, and make a difference for the better.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Anytime friends or family visit from out of town, my go to for a good time is the coast. We’ll cruise the loop around Mission Bay, hike along Torrey Pines, journey through La Jolla Shores.

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 owe a huge thanks to my family and friends for helping me get to where I am today. I would be nowhere without their love and support.
