We’re looking forward to introducing you to Jasmine Isom. Check out our conversation below.
Jasmine, we’re thrilled to have you with us today. Before we jump into your intro and the heart of the interview, let’s start with a bit of an ice breaker: Have any recent moments made you laugh or feel proud?
Recently I felt really proud when I saw one of my paintings displayed in an exhibition. Standing back and watching people stop to look at it—some even taking photos—was such a validating moment, because I pour so much of myself into my work. On a lighter note, I laughed the other day when my dog sat right next to me while I was packaging Etsy orders, almost like he was my little assistant keeping me company. It reminded me that even with the seriousness of running a business, joy in those small everyday moments is what keeps me grounded.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Jasmine Isom, and I’m both an artist and small business owner. Through my fine art, I explore spiritual and nature-inspired themes—often blending painting, printmaking, and pressed flowers to create work that feels both meaningful and beautiful. Alongside that, I run my brand, Jasmine Tree Design, where I sell faith-based art and products, including over 180 unique temple stickers (and I’m continuing to make more!). What makes my work unique is how deeply it’s rooted in faith, symbolism, and a sense of wonder—I want people to feel uplifted and connected when they see it. Right now, I’m especially excited about creating new sticker designs, expanding my collections, and preparing for upcoming exhibitions that push my art and business forward.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
A moment that really shaped how I see the world was during my LDS mission to Pocatello Idaho. My mission president Steven Southward often emphasized the importance of using your individual talents to serve God and to bless others. That idea really struck me, because I had always loved art but hadn’t fully connected it to a sense of purpose before. When I returned home, I carried that message with me and decided to start my business and focus on creating religious art. For me, it became a way to not only express my faith but also to share something uplifting with others. That experience changed how I see both art and work—not just as personal expression, but as a calling to serve and connect through creativity.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The fear that has held me back the most in my life is my shyness and social anxiety. For as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled to feel comfortable in social situations, and that has sometimes kept me from fully stepping into opportunities. Even now, I find myself nervous at farmers markets when I need to talk to strangers about my art, or at networking events where making connections is so important. Those settings can feel overwhelming, but I’ve also realized that progress happens in small steps. Each time I push myself to have a conversation, introduce myself, or share my work, I grow a little stronger. And often, those small acts lead to really meaningful moments—like when someone at a market opens up about how much a piece of my art means to them. Those experiences remind me why it’s worth working through the fear.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What would your closest friends say really matters to you?
I think my closest friends would say that what really matters to me is my faith, my relationships, and the way I care about people. Loyalty and trust are values I hold really close to my heart, and I try to live in a way that shows people they can count on me. Whether it’s being there for a friend who’s going through something hard, keeping my commitments, or simply showing up and listening, I want the people in my life to feel supported. My friends know that I put a lot of effort into maintaining strong, genuine connections and that I don’t take relationships lightly. More than anything, I want the people around me to feel seen, valued, and cared for—that’s what really matters to me.
Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
The story I hope people will tell about me when I’m gone is that I was a kind and caring person who genuinely loved her Savior and her family. I want people to remember me as someone who put God first and tried to live in a way that reflected His love. My hope is that they’ll see my art as part of that story—that I used my talents to spread the gospel, to uplift others, and to remind people of the beauty of faith. I want people to feel that I was someone who worked hard, stayed true to her values, and created something meaningful that reached beyond myself.
At the same time, I hope they’ll remember me as successful—not only in my art and business, but in the deeper sense of building a life that was full of love, faith, and purpose. I want my family and friends to feel that they were deeply loved, and I want others to be able to look at my work and my life and see a reflection of devotion, care, and perseverance. If people can say that I tried my best to serve God, bless others, and use my gifts to make a difference, then that’s the legacy I would want to leave.
