Our Story

It all began in a third-grade classroom at a little blue Catholic school in Pearl City, Hawaiʻi. Austin was a student, and I was his eighteen-year-old teacher’s aide. After we both left the school, life took us in different directions. Over the years, we crossed paths here and there, but I never imagined that our stories would reconnect in such a meaningful way.

Years later, out of the blue, Austin messaged me. He had been away from the Catholic Church for many years, but my witness of faith had stayed with him. He asked if I would be his sponsor for Confirmation. That simple invitation brought us back together. As we began attending Mass, grabbing coffee, and catching up over phone calls, I shared with him my dream for Lumen Dei Creations. Inspired by his renewed faith, Austin immediately wanted to be part of it—and that’s when we became partners and co-creators.

Lumen Dei Creations was born out of a dream: to share God’s Light through creative works that inspire truth, beauty, and love. Our goal is not only to use our own gifts but also to collaborate with others, shining a spotlight on their talents too. God’s Light was never meant to be hidden—it was meant to be shared.

Our prayer is that through our products, you’ll be able to share that same Light with the people you encounter every day. Together, let’s “Light up the world with His love.”
