CHERI 'PAVI' GIVENS
Creative Visionary and Founder
// WHO AM I? //
Hi! My name is Cheri 'Pavi' Dawson-Givens and I'm a graphic artist from beautiful Seattle, WA. I love design & photography and am drawn to the creative use of type, color, and composition. I'm passionate about equipping ministries with the tools to spread the gospel in the digital age.
I specialize in maximum impact graphics for churches and ministries. Whether you need professional graphic design, t-shirt design, cd album artwork, logo design, or powerful event graphics, count on me to deliver on time and on budget.
When not designing or creating fonts, you can find me experimenting with food recipes and using my husband as my test kitchen. Together we have 5 children and 14 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. I'm actively involved in ministry and love to pray and worship.
You can follow me if you like on Instagram or Facebook.
Love bible quote graphics? We have those too!
