Her designs embodied heavy glam aesthetics, including blazer jackets and cocktail dresses adorned with vibrant colors and prints. Since then, Johanna's brand, Glaudi, has evolved. The shift in direction was inspired by a devastating heartbreak when Johana was 27 years old. She realized at that moment that she did want to get married and that a wedding dress is the most memorable design a person will ever wear. Johanna expressed, "I want to bless my friends and clients by praying over their dresses and wishing that their marriages last forever, so they never have to experience heartbreak like I did after dating a guy for nine years. Now, I'm happily engaged."
