About 828
The Magic Behind Eight20Eight
Eight20Eight came to life from both a vision and desire to create uplifting messages that were solely rooted in faith-based values. While this is not a new concept, Eight20Eight Creations' approach will focus on fresh, unique apparel and product concepts that are eye-catching while keeping a classy, yet modern feel. That translates to appealing to a wide range of customer tastes without losing any integrity of morals or ethics. That's kind of a big thing here. It's all about discovering faith, keeping your faith, and accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior for eternal life.
The brilliance of Eight20Eight's versatility lies in its online options to shop, a community resource in 828 Creations, and also sibling entities in DPdesignWorks and Monkeyboxer Creative - a loaded powerhouse in great strength of faith.
828 - How it all Began
There's a beginning to every story.
This story began with struggling to move forward in life - from a 30+ career in advertising and marketing, predominantly as a graphic designer at various companies. Versatility led to advancements in print and web design. The most recent stint was spent wearing multiple hats as a custom award designer while also handling all sales and billing for a marketing company for 6+ years.
Feeling burnout imminent and seeking a change in focus, and no viable options open for a change in careers, a miraculous dream came one night. In this vision came a desire to spread God's word and bring His messages to life in some way. I needed to create a company name that resonated with me, which lead to thinking of scripture names. The aim was to come up with a way to maybe use numbers in combination with a uniquely creative name.
Then it appeared:
8 2 8
Simple numbers, but also my birth month and day. Hmmm.. this could be something. Upon researching my Study Bible, low and behold, there it was:
Romans 8:28
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
It felt like a good fit - and a sign from God. From there, everything began to fall into place! Thus, Eight20Eight Creations was born.

Faith Matters
Why does faith matter?
For starters, it can fuel a positive day, uplift moods and offer a sense of peace.
Without faith, whirlwinds and tides of catastrophic negativeness can cripple the mind, confuse one's thinking, and cause depression or worse.
Keeping this in mind, Faith Matters is a sense of well being - and also has become the tagline of Eight20Eight Creations.
While corruption, greed and tyranny continue to plaque our world, we need to find faith again, and to trust the word of God and His amazing love for us.
