The Nonconformist started with a conviction that Christian gifts can be two things at once: beautiful to look at, and carrying Scriptural truth worth meditating on.

The name comes from Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” To be a Christian is, in many ways, to be a nonconformist – to have our minds and lives shaped not by the world around us, but by the Word of God.

I find great joy in creating thoughtfully designed gifts that are enjoyable to own and meaningful to give. My hope is that they encourage and build up Christians in their faith, and open up opportunities to talk about the Gospel with those who don’t yet know Christ.

Beautiful things. Biblical truth. No need to choose between the two.
