Since I was already in the process of making a book for Ann, my friend Amy asked me to also make one for her friend Erin as a Christmas gift. Amy went to great lengths to find out all of Erin’s favorites…Amy even went so far as to create a survey for Erin to fill [...]

An AMAZING organization, LifeChurch.tv has taught me a lot about design, marketing, spirituality, and myself.
