Meet Lexi Griswold: The model and influencer with a mission for success
Lexi Griswold has come a long way from growing up in rainy Portland, Oregon. Since then, she has grown an immense social following that was always unbeknownst to the model in her younger years. At 18, she got a palm tree tattoo on the left side of her ribs where the influencer depicted that in a way it was her own personal manifestation moving to Los Angeles without essentially knowing it at the time.
But, Griswold will always remember where she came from and looks back at her time in The Beaver State as something positive.
"It was rainy most time out of the year, but in the summer it was really beautiful!" said Griswold, "I really love the outdoors, so I always enjoyed all the nature in Oregon. I would go on a lot of hikes and there were a lot of waterfalls, rivers, and beaches. I definitely explored a lot in high school with my friends, and it was so fun!"
Since those days embarking in the wilderness as a child, Griswold has grown an influential following with 223K followers on Instagram and 474.6K followers on TikTok sharing about her early days as an influencer saying, "I started posting on YouTube and Instagram consistently and started getting brands to notice me. Them reposting my content also helped me gain followers. I strongly believe in consistency and letting your followers get to know you on a more personal level. It really has helped me grow through my journey."
Griswold worked as a bona fide fashion model working with KO Watches, Fashion Nova, and Revolve; the latter being one of her favorite collaborations due to her love and admiration for their clothes.
Recently, while the pandemic shut everything down and pushed productions, Griswold turned to OnlyFans to promote her content, share behind-the-scenes footage from shoots, and daily life activities, while racking in a few extra dollars to help out her parents.
"I saw OnlyFans as an opportunity to make money and create content simultaneously (something I was already doing) and grow myself as a brand. I do send my parents money when I can and I am so grateful for that."
She also began learning how to cook vegan recipes too during her quarantine.
"I make a really good spicy olive oil pasta with beyond sausage!!"
When not collaborating, the model enjoys filling up her closet with Tiger Mist, TopShop, Steve Madden, and Zara.
When asked about advice to give to young girls struggling with self-esteem and confidence issues, she offered, "Do things that make you feel good about yourself, don't care about what other people think about you. The only thing that matters is how you view yourself. Also, wearing an outfit that makes you feel good and confident can really help with confidence."
