DESIGN

Graphic design can be beautiful, bold, colorful, inspiring, or remarkably simple. But ultimately, it's about communication. A successful design isn't necessarily the one that looks the most impressive. It's the one that accomplishes its purpose.

I believe there's an important difference between creating art and creating design for a client. When designers become too attached to their work, even constructive feedback can feel like someone just called their baby ugly. Great design requires creativity, collaboration, and the willingness to put the message ahead of personal preference.



The projects below demonstrate how I approach different creative assignments. Each begins with a specific communication challenge, followed by my interpretation of the brief and the resulting design.

"We're hosting a LEGO-building event for kids in grades 1-5 called Faith Builders. We want a graphic that's fun, bright, and gets kids excited about building something amazing together!"

"We're planning a special worship night for middle and high school students called AFTERGLOW. We want something that feels like a modern concert promotion, not a traditional church announcement."

"Our women's ministry is hosting an evening gathering Festival of Tables. We'll spend time in worship, fellowship, and a nice meal. The ladies decorate the tables and they always look amazing. We'd like something beautiful, welcoming, and sophisticated."

"We are launching a monthlong missions emphasis called Beyond. We want to challenge people to think beyond their own communities and consider how they can be involved in taking the gospel to the nations."

"We're beginning a five-week sermon series called UNSHAKEN. The series will explore how our faith can remain strong when life becomes uncertain. We need a graphic that captures both the tension of life's storm and the assurance of God's faithfulness."
