With over 30 years of experience in graphic design, digital artistry, and therapeutic art coaching, Lena Payton Webb has built a six figure business and strong foundation for helping others bring their creative visions to life. As a multi-award-winning publisher, Army veteran, and business leader, Lena has guided countless authors, coaches, consultants, and even corporations through the process of transforming their ideas into impactful self-help books, workbooks, and custom coloring books. Her work has been featured in major media outlets like CBS News, Fox News, and NBC News, and she has been recognized by platforms like *Disrupt Weekly* for her significant contributions to the publishing industry.
Lena leads Blu Impressions Publishing and directs LitCon, a nonprofit organization for authors, which was established to bring together book lovers, aspiring writers, and industry professionals through literary symposiums and author expos. LitCon events have been hosted at prestigious institutions like **Florida A&M University (FAMU)**, **Georgia Tech**, and **Bishop State College**, providing valuable platforms for aspiring authors to connect, grow, and share their stories. She has developed a proven track record for turning creative concepts into professional, market-ready products, while also mentoring individuals on their path to becoming published authors.
Lena’s journey goes beyond her professional accomplishments. During her battle with leukemia, she lost her vision and was declared legally blind for nearly four years. Those challenging years gave her a new kind of vision—one that has deeply shaped her purpose. Now fully recovered, her mission is clear: to help others share their experiences and expertise through words and art. Lena envisions a future where creativity, words, and art become tools for economic empowerment and lasting legacies.
A 2018 survey revealed that around 80% of Americans believe they have a book inside them, underscoring the widespread desire for storytelling as a means of personal expression and legacy creation. Regaining her sight wasn’t just about seeing again; it was about realizing that her true purpose is to empower others to turn their stories into legacies.
Through self-publishing, speaking, and author expos, Lena helps others not only find their voice but also create opportunities to generate additional income. As an international speaker, Lena shares her journey of resilience and transformation with audiences worldwide. She speaks about overcoming adversity and transitioning from “Pages to Profits,” showing others how to turn their pain into purpose. Through **Blu Impressions Publishing** and **LitCon**, Lena has created platforms that foster artistic expression, storytelling, and self-publishing for individuals from all walks of life.
Her vision for the future is to continue building a global movement where creativity, words, and art serve as powerful tools for economic empowerment and lasting legacies. By hosting workshops and author expos, Lena equips others with the tools they need to bring their stories to life and inspire future generations.
