Design Elementary is a creative education company dedicated to introducing children to the world of graphic design at an early age. Rooted in the belief that creativity is a foundational skill, Design Elementary provides engaging, age-appropriate learning experiences that empower children to think critically, solve problems, and express themselves visually.
Through interactive workbooks, digital lessons, hands-on workshops, and accessible resources for educators and parents, Design Elementary bridges the gap between traditional education and creative exploration. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed for young learners, breaking down complex design concepts, such as color, typography, and composition, into simple, exciting, and practical lessons that children can immediately apply.
At its core, Design Elementary is more than a program; it is a movement to cultivate confident, imaginative thinkers who see themselves as creators and innovators. By creating opportunities for children to learn, create, and build, Design Elementary is shaping a generation that understands the power of design in everyday life.
This is where Education meets Design.

Furnishing Faith assists people emerging from homelessness and have secured a permanent home. We partner with social service agencies to identify individuals or families in need. Most of the time they are only supplied a bed so we assist by fully furnishing the home with community donations of furniture, household goods, decor, linens, etc. This provides a functional and aesthetic home so a new chapter of their life can begin with dignity and comfort.
