How it all started..

​
 

    Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Chris and I am the graphic designer behind New Sight Designs. “So, what is New Sight Designs?” If, that is what you are asking, allow me to take a minute to share the background of how New Sight Designs came into existence.  In regards, to the not so exciting parts, like education and experience, I have an Associates Degree in Applied Science for Graphic Design, and have worked in this field for around 8 years. So, in relation to time I am still new at this, but I truly have a passion for all things “art.” Whether doing business cards, logos, websites or signs, I love to see a project go from just being someone’s idea, to making it a reality.

 

      Please, don’t stop reading there! My story, or moreover, my business’ story continues. It is a story that contains drama, family issues, and how a man’s faith changed his whole world. So, I would like to ask that you read the full page here, so that you are able to get the full message.  

 

    Several years ago, I married a girl that was the love of my life and my best friend. For the first few years, my wife and I had enjoyed an awesome marriage. Of course, we had moments of tension like any other couple, but we were happy.  The happiness didn't stop there. After three years of marriage, we found that we were going to have a child. We were going to be an actual family!

​

      So I know you are probably wondering about the “drama” that I had mentioned earlier. Well here it comes. My wife and I did have a great life together, and I did seem happy; However, I held a secret and it was tearing me apart, but only on the inside. I did a good job hiding my termoil from the rest of the world, including my wife, but it seemed that it created a tension that begin to grow between us. At times, I felt so far away from my wife and it was like something continued eating away at me. It is very hard to describe how I felt at that time, but to say the least, it was terrible. Even in the times that I should have been filled with joy, I was always being plagued by something. This feeling had been with me many years before my wife and I had even met. It followed me everywhere and through everything that I did. It seemed the closer I got to the ones I loved, the worse I felt.

​

    That all finally came to a screeching halt, as one night I decided it was time for a change. I needed to let go of this secret of the struggle that I had been hiding. It was at that moment that something inside me snapped. It was the worst thing that I had ever been through. The emotional pain I felt was so strong that it made me physically nauseous. I felt like I had nothing left to live for and that this was the end for me. I confessed to my wife, all that was happening to me, and knew at that moment that something had to change. It was terrible, but after letting my secret go, it was awful and wonderful at the same time.

    

    The next day was Sunday, and I thanked God that it was. I knew that I needed to be in Church and needed God in my life. I wanted to be as close to God as I could, and I thought that being in Church would be the best place for that. Upon getting to the church, I immediately went through the door and found the pastor. We prayed together and I asked God to forgive me of my sins and to help us work through this situation as a family. I didn’t want to lose my wife nor my unborn child. It is hard for me to even write this, but I want to share with the world how God can turn a misery, into something wonderful. I was saved that morning and of all places that it could have been, I knelt down in a handicapped restroom in the back of the church. The weight of ten worlds had been lifted from me. It was like a flood of relief. It was like I could almost feel the flood of Jesus’ blood flowing over me and taking with it all of the sin, the pain, anguish and heartache that had plagued me for so long.

​

     God had forgiven me and I was then a new man! It is an unbelievable feeling and is odd how you can feel so bad and so good at the same time. It would be a long, hard road from there to become who I needed and wanted to be, but I knew that I now had God. I knew that he would help me and my family through any issue that arose.

​

    God had saved my soul and given me the most precious gift ever given.  At this time, I felt like I had gained a new perspective, a new life, I had gained New Sight! And this, dear reader, is where the name of my business comes from. With my new sight, I would find every way possible to share God’s love and power to the world, one business card, logo or car rendering at a time!  God can do this for you if you will let him. He is just waiting on you to ask.
