Awake: A Community of Survivors
Awake is a nonprofit whose mission is to awaken the nation to the full reality of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, work for transformation, and foster healing for all who have been wounded. Founded in the belief that ordinary lay Catholics need to step up and take responsibility for transformation and healing in the Church, the organization offers educational materials via their blog and website, support groups, virtual events and recordings of these events, as well as occasional in-person events.
WONDER: Encounters With Beauty In Nature
WONDER is an experiential learning program that provides adventures for people in beautiful settings and encounters with flourishing individuals and communities around the world, incorporating a journey of reflection and growth for the participants. WONDER does this by taking high schoolers, college and MBA students, and corporate business employees on immersive outdoor wilderness adventures that facilitate a method for encountering, listening, observing, and sharing. Many programs send students into the wilderness, but few programs focus so acutely on the experience of awe. WONDER creates a flourishing environment for people to be transformed by beauty, connect with a community, and reflect in silence.
TAM NOVA Coaching
TAM NOVA provides a space for the great truths of the Faith to play with the best tools in the world, empowering Catholics to move mountains through coaching, workshop-retreats and peer support. As TAM NOVA entered a new season of growth, it needed a brand and website where participants could find information, photos, testimonials, results from past retreats and cohorts, events, and more.
St. Joseph’s of Greenwich Village NYC Parish Website
St. Joseph’s Church in Greenwich Village is the oldest Catholic Church in New York City. Its pastor, Fr. Boniface Endorf, was spearheading a project to return it to its architectural glory and to install the city’s very first perpetual adoration chapel. These were not the only renovations happening in the parish, however. Alongside the building’s reconstruction, the parish had recently undergone a rebrand to appeal to the younger, tech-savvy, artistic demographic that made up a good half of St. Joseph’s parishioners. With a new logo in place, the church was now in need of a website makeover.
Textile Wildlife Art
Janine Heschl, operating as Textile Wildlife Art, uses a sewing machine to create unique photographic embroidery portraits of wildlife, inspired by the beautiful diversity of colors and patterns in every species in nature. With a heart for charity work and activism, Janine serves a tight niche of art collectors who appreciate wildlife and the art of embroidery, conservationists, and ecotourists. Janine needed a logo to take her artwork to the next level of professionalism.
VIP Concierge Jacó
VIP Concierge Jacó offers tours, transportation, and concierge services in the Jacó Beach area of Costa Rica.

The end result was a dreamy website that enticed viewers to make Jacó, Costa Rica, their next getaway!

Big Sur Pictures
T.J. Berden was gaining a lot of traction with his film consultancy company, Big Sur Pictures, a Los Angeles-based production company experienced in the development, production, marketing and distribution of films with big ideas in search of targeted audiences. As Big Sur continued to grow through LinkedIn and word-of-mouth, Berden was in need of a more public facing identity—a website to begin conversations within his network.

Train Everywhere is an online mind and body fitness platform that makes whole-person wellness development accessible and achievable to anyone, anywhere. Founders Joe and Britt came to me in need of a portal for people to acquire membership, access video and blog-type exercise content, and interact with products.
Life of Purpose Planner
Writing things down is a scientifically-proven way to off-load your brain and gain peace and focus. Unlike your typical planner, The Purpose Planner is designed for more than just keeping a schedule—it facilitates a way of life. Made in Italy with recycled leather, the workbook is broken into sections for preparation and reflection on a monthly, weekly, and daily basis, and includes a project task organizer and habit tracker as well to help you excel in both what you do and who you are.
Jacob Popčak: Art, Soul, Mind
Jacob Popčak is an illustrator, speaker, and graphic designer with a background in Catholicism and mental health. Jacob had an existing website portfolio, but the site was outdated and did not reflect the unique complexity offered by the artist. Our challenge was to strike a balance between the artistic nature of his business and the dependable professionalism he brought to it.
A Whitewashed Tomb
My debut novel, A Whitewashed Tomb, was a labor of love that challenged not only my writing, but also my graphic design and layout skills. Rather than publishing traditionally, I decided to do everything myself: from the cover design to the interior layout, Kindle formatting, and marketing materials.
Come, Holy Ghost
The Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter was in need of design work for a Pastoral Letter on the Holy Spirit, to be mailed to all Ordinariate Parishes and Parochial Communities. The magazine-style mailer needed to find a balance between appealing to a more traditional audience, while utilizing clean, modern styles.
TinySaints
TinySaints makes the saints tiny so that every human heart can feel the simple joy of a life lived closer to Christ.
