Behind the Boutiques

Beaux Studios has been Cherrah Johnson's design studio in Orlando since her graduation from UCF in 1999 with a degree in Advertising and Public Relations. For 20 years, she has simultaneously building both a personal studio practice in creating jewelry and clothing ( Beaux Studios ) as well creating and growing a thriving Advertising and Branding Agency ( HALO Branded Solutions ).  For  over two decades, these two VERY creative practices have informed each other and Beaux Studios stands alone as studio that has done several million dollars in sales of our handmade jewelry.  Beaux Studios has been traveling to fine art markets over 20 years and has had a consistent presence within other retailers, as a bespoke bohemian boutique. 

Beaux Studios curates timeless clothing, often highlighting vintage details like pintucks and lace, alongside a jewelry collection that combines both rough and finished elements.  A rough edge on a stone contrasted with the smooth finish of Kodiak Leather. 

This contrast intends to reflect the duality within each of us – how we are both perfect and imperfect, finished and unfinished.  The jewelry itself tries to embody this balance, offering a mix of faceted and muted, sparkle and dim.

More than just a physical space, Beaux Studios represents a state of being – a place where one can be surrounded by inspiring objects and have endless time to create. Through this vision, Beaux Studios brings to market a distinctive line of bohemian clothing and handcrafted jewelry, each piece infused with timeless details.

Cherrah's extensive experience includes:

• Designing custom merchandise for major theme park & hospitality giants in Central Florida for over 2 decades
• Launching a successful ad agency in Downtown Orlando at 26, servicing major hospitality and theme park brands for 20 years.
• Exhibiting at over 200 fine art festivals with Beaux Studios pop up concept
• 11 different experimental and traditional boutique concepts, from Orlando to Asheville, Vermont to Colorado
• Partnering with galleries around the country to supply both the Beaux Studios line and private label jewelry collections.

This rich background has been an adventure in creativity, hustle, and entrepreneurship, connecting Cherrah with hundreds of thousands of women along the way.

Through countless interactions in retail settings, Cherrah discovered purpose over the decades in  fostering genuine connections. 

The clothing and jewelry, she realized, were simply a conduit to bring people together. In the anonymity of an art market or within the boutiques, Cherrah has witnessed women bravely confronting their self-worth while trying on clothes, often vocalizing inner struggles tied to body image and media perceptions.

Yet, she's also seen the incredible power of support. Strangers, in these shared spaces, frequently offer genuine admiration, illustrating how we can lift each other up during vulnerable moments. Embracing this supportive dynamic can be truly transformative.

You can find Beaux Studios' boutique and retail presence in Central Florida, with the design studio located in Downtown Orlando at 1001 N Orange Ave. 

The design studio operates by appointment only or through a ticket to one of our Beaux Workshops: Creativity Meets Community. This workshop concept extends the belief that "we belong around each other," offering curated, pre-planned workshops where individuals can gather and create together.
