Today we’d like to introduce you to Shelby Jackson.
Hi Shelby, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started off in the Healthcare field as a Surgical Technologist. I was fired from my job in 2019. I went in a depression because I didn’t know how I was going to provide income for my family. That’s when my business She.Logos LLC was born. April 19th, 2020 I filed for my LLC. I started doing logos & fell in love with how branding business made people feel. It was the beginning of the pandemic & a lot of businesses were developing. I had finally found a steady income. Logos eventually turned into me branding T-shirts, Labels, bags, flip flops and more. I really felt at that time that I was doing something positive to help my community grow. I was pretty much self-taught. Never stepped foot in graphic design school but I studied as much as I could from information I was getting online. It was the best move I’ve made by far. Fast forward to 2021, I began thinking of another business venture that I could begin. I then came up with the idea to start my very own lip gloss line. September 16, 2021 The LipLab Collection was born. I wanted to incorporate the healthcare field with this business so LibLab was the perfect name. I have prescription bottles that stores glosses & also little pill capsules of lip gloss. I thought it was a really great & unique idea. So here I am today, two years being an entrepreneur. I’ve had ups & downs during this journey but I would not change it for anything. I have more freedom, more time to spend with family & more time for myself.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has not been a smooth road at all. Entrepreneurship comes with having no support, being broke, using your last to buy inventory, dry spells when no one is purchasing products from you. It’s definitely an emotional roller coaster. It’s definitely not for the weak. The market is now saturated so you really have to learn how to stand out or you will be overlooked.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
As a graphic designer, I specialize in branding businesses. I design logos, flyers, business cards, social media content, & branding apparel. I’m most proud of the fact that I was self-taught. Trial & error is how I got where I am today. Watching a lot of YouTube videos to help. What sets me apart from others is the style of my logos. I use a lot of colors & I work quickly yet very efficiently. Making me & my clients very happy.
Is there a quality that you most attribute to your success?
My mentality has always been a “I don’t like working to make the next person rich mentality”. I have the drive & the skills to become a successful business owner. I’m good with communicating with people from all different walks of life. I have ALOT of patience. I would have to say I’m very brave. Just off the simple fact that I took that risk.
