Posted by John Saddington on Jul 30, 2010

Being a designer can be a tough thing by itself! I have found that one of the most frustrating (and freeing) things about it is that it is truly a healthy mix of intuition, subjectivity, and principle.

What it appears to be is an opportunity to donate your time, resources, and talents to help NPO (Non Profit Orgs) with their specific business needs.

Posted by John Saddington on Jul 27, 2010

I’m all for making “online” easier and more manageable. I know there are a few “purists” out there (heck, I graduated with a lot of them) that try to keep web development out of the hands of so-called tourists, but I’m not that arrogant. Or, at least I hope I’m not… I think it is [...]

I would definitely define a part of what I do as freelancing in the ministry segment and space – it’s a different life and it’s fun (and challenging) to mix up the demands of non-profits and other small businesses while considering the spiritual side of things.
