IT'S ABOUT SO MUCH MORE THAN
DESIGNS.
It's about glorifying God through the pursuit of beauty and excellence.
My name is Clare
And it's a dream of mine to use my gifts in design, film, and photography to glorify God. Born in Pennsylvania, I graduated from Villanova University, and then worked as a youth minster at a small parish and in contracted positions for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. This business allows me to do something I love (create art and support Catholic parishes, businesses, and non-profits!), while giving me the freedom and flexibility to pursue ministry.
I'm so excited to meet you and help your vision come to life!
It's about Christ,
With experience working at a small parish and in contracted positions for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, I get how hard it is to compete with corporate America's advertising campaigns while being under-staffed and on tight budgets. My goal is to enable Catholic parishes, businesses, and organizations to stand out so that you can bring Christ to a broken world--without having to break the bank.
103Designs isn't just a job to me. Helping Catholic business owners achieve their dreams, or parishes invite new sheep into the fold, is a ministry to me. I want to use my gifts and talents so that you can have corporate-level websites and marketing materials.
Do I really need a beautiful website?
It's easy to disregard beauty as being frivolous and impractical. "Why do I need a pretty website anyways? Isn't it enough just to have the information all there?" In our hyper-aesthetic age though, Gen Z and Alpha are used to cinematic commercials, YouTube videos that look like feature films, and websites that look like magazines. Anything less comes across as outdated at best and untrustworthy at worst.
Beauty and aestheticism are the language of the modern culture. And in just the same way that the Church spread at Pentecost because "each one heard them speaking in his own language," we need to speak the "language" of the culture. That's why beauty isn't frivolous. It's an avenue for encountering God. When we see something beautiful, it captivates us, and when properly ordered, art doesn't lead us to become absorbed in itself, but draws our gaze out and up, because, "For from the greatness and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator" (Wisdom 13:5 RSV2CE).
So yes. Whether you're a plumbing company or a parish, you need a beautiful website.
and beauty,
and YOU.
Every business, non-profit, and parish is different. That's why I personally meet with all of my clients. I want to hear about your vision or mission, about the people you serve, and what makes you so unique! That way, together, we can create a website or advertising materials that reflect exactly who you are and what you have to offer. All of my sites look different, because it's not about me, or my style. It's about you, and crafting something excellent together.
