Meet Silvana Johnson of CAMARILLO

Today we’d like to introduce you to Silvana Johnson.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My journey began with a lifelong love for art, design, and creating beautiful things. I spent many years working in the fashion industry, but after reconnecting with my Catholic faith, I felt a desire to use my creativity for something more meaningful. I wanted to create something that would honor God while bringing beauty, peace, and inspiration into people’s everyday lives.

That’s how Live Your Faith Catholic was born. My husband, Wayne, and I started very small, with just six candles at our local church. What began as a simple idea slowly grew into something much bigger than we ever imagined.

Today, our collection has expanded to include devotional candles, jewelry, home fragrances, reed diffusers, and room sprays. Each product is thoughtfully created with the hope of bringing beauty into the home and inspiring moments of prayer, reflection, and connection with God.

For us, Live Your Faith Catholic is more than a business. It’s a way to share our faith through creativity and remind people that even the simplest everyday moments can become something meaningful and beautiful.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It certainly hasn’t always been a smooth road. Like many small businesses, we’ve faced our share of challenges, from managing cash flow and building brand awareness to navigating the uncertainty that comes with entrepreneurship. There have definitely been ups and downs, along with moments of discouragement when things haven’t moved as quickly as we had hoped.

But those challenges have also taught us valuable lessons in patience, perseverance, and, most importantly, faith. We’ve learned to trust God’s timing, even when the path ahead isn’t entirely clear.

Our growth has been slower than we initially envisioned, but it has been steady, and every milestone, no matter how small, reminds us why we started. We continue to believe in what we’re building, and that gives us the motivation to keep moving forward.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
At Live Your Faith Catholic, we specialize in creating beautifully designed, faith-inspired candles, home fragrances, and jewelry that bring a sense of beauty, peace, and purpose into everyday life. Our products are especially meaningful for personal prayer spaces and home altars, where families can come together in faith and reflection.

What sets us apart is the intention behind everything we create. Every detail has a purpose, from the fragrances we carefully select to the religious imagery, symbolism, and design of each label. Nothing is simply decorative; we want each piece to tell a story, inspire devotion, and reflect the beauty of our Catholic faith.

What we’re most proud of, however, is the connection our products create with the people who welcome them into their homes. Hearing customers tell us how much they love our candles, how they incorporate them into their prayer routines, or how our products have inspired their families to pray together is incredibly rewarding.

For us, that’s the true measure of success. We’re not just creating beautiful products; we’re creating something that encourages people to slow down, reconnect with their faith, and make room for prayer in their daily lives.

Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
I believe that over the next five to ten years, we’ll see a growing desire for products that offer more than just beauty or functionality. People are looking for meaning, authenticity, and a deeper connection to the things they bring into their homes.

I also feel that many people are rediscovering the importance of faith, tradition, and spirituality in their everyday lives. I believe this creates a beautiful opportunity for faith-inspired brands to offer products that reflect those values while embracing thoughtful, contemporary design.

As for Live Your Faith Catholic, we have so many exciting ideas and projects that we can’t wait to share. Our long-term vision is to grow into a Catholic lifestyle brand, expanding beyond candles, home fragrances, and jewelry into new areas of design and creativity.

Whatever direction we take, our mission will always remain the same: to create beautiful, meaningful products that inspire people to live their faith and bring a little more beauty, prayer, and purpose into everyday life.
