janay garrick | lead creative + owner

In first grade, Janay received her first award: “Best First Grade Storyteller” for a fairytale she wrote and published with a wallpaper cover. Later, in spite of her father’s promptings to study business at Pepperdine University, Janay studied Creative Writing. There, she began her first novel and the formal pursuit of what would later become a writing career. 

Today, she has worked on a wide range of creative projects, from writing Christian devotionals to creating children’s ministry leadership guides to blogging for high profile leaders. While completing her master’s degree at Fuller Theological Seminary, Janay served as the editor/creative director of the weekly campus magazine and as the co-editor of a creative anthology of poetry, prose, essay, art, and photography. Her background in elementary education, children’s ministry, and international missions compliments her current passion to upsource (elevate, beautify, raise the proverbial bar) for nonprofits and the Christian market. 

Oh, and two final things you should know: Janay likes the word creative and uses it a lot. She also loves helping clients remove these labels from their identities:

Unpublished writer.
Unnoticed creative.
Poor nonprofit.

   eliel rosario | design + style

Growing up, Eliel’s grandfather worked with an offset printer (read: old school printer) at home. Thus, Eliel says design and print work have been ingrained in him from the beginning, leading him to pursue a BFA in graphic design. These early childhood foundations later produced creativity and attention to detail in web and print design in both the private and nonprofit worlds. In addition to digital design, Eliel currently pursues industrial and product design and leatherwork.
