A creative studio in Nashville, TN serving Churches and Nonprofits

We serve churches and nonprofits through elevated design at a fair price.

Tekoa was founded by long-time designer and creative director Nick de Partee.

I was raised in the church, toured the world in the Christian music industry for nearly a decade, and have personally handled hundreds of freelance design projects

for churches and nonprofits all along the way.

Tekoa is a focused effort to better serve these organizations who often don't have the bandwidth to handle design, or don't have the resources available to justify hiring a full-time creative staff.

We offer a wide range of quality design services including:

Creative Direction
Branding
Web Design
Promo Assets
Social Graphics

Series Art
Marketing Support
Campaign Design
Merchandise

Site Redesign
Conduit Church

We worked with Conduit Mission earlier this year to overhaul their mission’s website which was a blast. We then moved our attention to the Conduit Church site to complete the refresh of the Conduit brand and aesthetic to bring a cohesive message and feel across both of the sites.

We can’t wait to work with you!
