SHE IS: A VIP lifestyle concierge.  “As a busy professional, I didn’t have time to do the tasks in my personal life to keep me organized—to plan travel, shop for gifts,” says Johnson, who worked for 15 years in health care and academia. “I wished I had someone to take care of those details for me. I knew there had to be others who needed that someone to help them too.” Voilà, AudreyLynnJo was born.

BLING ON: Within nine months of establishing AudreyLynnJo in 2007, Johnson was tapped to handle all VIP fl ights, hotels, and logistics for Chris Webber’s third annual Bada Bling Celebrity Weekend in Las Vegas. Word quickly spread about Johnson’s concierge service. Most of her clients, including Lakers assistant coach Bryan Shaw and his wife, celebrity chef Nikki Shaw, have all come to her by word of mouth.

AIN’T NO THING: Whether it’s making sure a patron doesn’t miss an important birthday
or planning a dinner for the Orlando Magic, no task is too random for AudreyLynnJo.
Some customers hire Johnson to manage their day-to-day life, but most depend on her to
deliver what they need when they need it. One client gave Johnson four hours to fi nd him
an outfit to wear that evening to a black-tie event and a weekend’s worth of clothes for an
impromptu getaway.  “I contacted three high-end boutiques, discussed my client’s wardrobe
style and needs, scheduled delivery of a selection of clothes with a seamstress ready to make any adjustments, and scheduled a barber and masseuse just in case he needed a haircut and a massage,” Johnson recalls.

IT’S GONNA COST YOU: Johnson charges $150 per hour for an initial consultation, and
her services break down into several categories: personal organization and assistance,
entertainment, events, shopping, travel, and relocation.
