If you're a designer carrying the weight of deadlines, creative blocks, or career uncertainty, Prayer for Designers exists to lift you up in prayer — no strings attached.^1
Founded by Brian White, an award-winning brand and UI designer with over 25 years of experience, Prayer for Designers is a faith-driven community where creative professionals find spiritual support and genuine fellowship.^2 At its core is a confidential prayer request form — submit what's on your heart, and a small group of Bible-believing designers will bring it before God.^1
Beyond prayer, the community thrives on a Slack workspace with channels covering everything from prayer requests and Scripture memory to job postings, works-in-progress critique, and gender-specific accountability groups for men and women.^3 The community page says its Bible studies are on hold this year, after running virtually on Zoom for over five years, with new studies expected later this year or next.^3 It still lists share-and-prayer sessions, with 30-minute Google Meet lunches and 20-minute prayer times, and members also collectively sponsor children through Compassion International.^3
Members create custom Bible verse designs for social media, turning Scripture into visual art that can be shared across platforms.^4 The community has maintained an annual presence at the Creative South design conference, connecting with fellow creatives in person.^5 Featured member designers include professionals whose work spans Fortune 500 brands like Tylenol, Band-Aid, Harley-Davidson, P&G, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.^4
Theologically, Prayer for Designers stands on the Nicene Creed, embracing historic Christian orthodoxy.^6 Their posture is welcoming — even if you don't believe in God, they want to pray for you.^1
