Christie enjoys being crafty and creative. She has always loved and is passionate about her photos and family history, preserving the stories since she was young. In the late 1990s, she became an avid scrapbooker to help preserve and protect those photos and tell the stories.

• Certified Photo Manager
• Certified Home Movie Expert

Christie has assisted as a Professional Organizer on the A&E show “Hoarders.”

Christie was nominated for Best Photo/Memorabilia Organizer at the 7th annual Los Angeles Organizing Awards.

Christie focuses her business on organizing, preserving, archiving, designing, researching, and sharing her clients’ photos, memories, and genealogy family history legacy.

As the stories, memories, and projects grew with Christie’s clients, the need for Genealogy became evident. Christie has been putting her own Genealogy together for the past years and started to see a need for it with her own clients. Christie was already organizing the “inherited box” of documents, archiving the black and white photos, and listening to her client’s family history.

Scrapbook Designer and Vision to be Organized grew to be incredible businesses. But Christie felt she needed to include Genealogy for her business to grow… so she created Memorable Legacy. This company not only creates scrapbooks, organizes piles of photos, designs digital albums, archives, preserves, scans boxes of photos and history, and manages the entire photo collection documents, but also researches family genealogy, organizes genealogy documents, builds digital family trees, preserves ones family legacy, and shares the family history stories. Memorable Legacy became the blended business Christie needed from Scrapbook Designer and Vision to be Organized.

Christie is married to Erik Johnson, who enjoys taking Christie to the “Happiest Place on Earth”: Disneyland. She is a Dog Mommy to Ms. Riley and Ms. Wrigley (both Pembroke Welsh Corgis), who are beyond spoiled. She enjoys working out, taking long walks, reading health books, food prepping, watching Disney movies, scrapbooking her photos, researching her genealogy, and hosting gatherings with her family and friends. Christie is the youngest of 4 siblings; she is an Aunt to 10 nieces and nephews and a Great Aunt.
