Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My Christian faith is the driving force behind everything I do. I believe creativity is a gift from God meant to serve people and advance His mission in the world. Design Church Co was created to help churches and Kingdom ventures communicate their message clearly through thoughtful branding and design. When a church can clearly communicate who they are and why they exist, more people are reached with the hope of the Gospel. That mission inspires my work every day.

How do you stay motivated?

My motivation begins with prayer and time with the Holy Spirit. Staying rooted in Christ fuels everything I do. Creatively, I stay sharp by constantly learning, practicing design, and exploring new ideas. I lean heavily on the people around me. My wife, my team, and fellow creatives challenge and inspire me. Collaboration, feedback, and community keep me growing so I never stop improving the work we do for the churches and organizations we serve.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest a significant portion directly into my team. I believe generosity and investing in people is one of the most important practices of a healthy leader. The people behind the mission are the most valuable part of any organization. Supporting, rewarding, and equipping them allows us to serve churches and Kingdom ventures even better. The rest would be reinvested into growing Design Church Co so we can continue helping more organizations communicate their mission clearly.
