Ep. 43 - Finding Beauty a Conversation with Dayna Isom Johnson America's Top Trend Expert from NBC's Makin' It and Etsy

Dayna Isom Johnson knew from when she was eight years old making
and selling mud pies in rural Virginia, that she wanted to be in
the creative fashion industry. Think about this: Eight years old,
and you already have your career planned out and designed! Dayna
speaks brightly about the clarity of her creative path
unsupported by racial "mirrors," but powerfully guided by her
working Aunt in corporate spaces who took her on a brisk and fast
journey to NYC. 


Small town girl made good in NYC, Dayna now leads Etsy as their
principal trend expert, guiding one of the country's most
powerful and wealth-generating tech companies, to make decisions
around colors, fashion and fun to make colorful style decisions
based on her gut backed by data analytics. See Dayna's Etsy
website of recommendations and style here
