A Community for Makers & Entrepreneurs
about
COMMISSIONED IS FOR THOSE LOOKING TO DIVE DEEPER INTO THEIR CREATIVE CALLINGS. JOIN US ON NOVEMBER 6TH IN AUSTIN, TEXAS.
With the foundation that God is a creator first, and calls us to create, everything we do at Commissioned is centered around the celebration and creation of beauty.
Commissioned provides not only inspiration, but high-quality education on HOW to succeed in a creative endeavor: whether you are just launching your business or if you've been at it for many years.
This community gives us each permission to dive deep into our calling, leaving preconceived notions at the door, and trusting our Maker’s design for each of us.

The Story of Commissioned
Long-time friends, Hannah & Shannon bonded over our roles as believers, moms, and entrepreneurs. While on different career journeys, we each found ourselves drawn to creative pursuits: Hannah as an interior designer, author and speaker, Shannon as a media publication owner/editor and connector.
We noticed the path of creative entrepreneurship could, at times, feel isolating, and traditional conferences were not designed for outside-the-box thinkers in the creative space. We craved a community to support and encourage women like us in our faith and work. We also wanted to create an environment filled with beauty and inspiration. In 2024, Commissioned was born.
Inspired by the most effective events and platforms bringing together entrepreneurial women, we’ve created something unique and uncommon for the faith-driven creative: the artist, photographer, interior designer, social media expert or brand founder.
As God is the first—and really the only—Maker, and we are created in His image, we desire to echo God’s original work and bring beauty and redemption to the world.
Our aim is to provide high-quality education about HOW to succeed in a creative endeavor: whether you are just launching your business or if you've been at it for many years. We also desire to create a place where we can build one another up, as we are commissioned to use our talents to make a big impact.
It is our hope and prayer that through our events, educational programming and online community, we will inspire you to lean in BIG to your God-given talents.
With Gratitude,

at the core
beliefs:
-
The Lord wants His people to be empowered and delighted by encountering His beauty. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made (John 1:3).
-
God is a creator first. He created the world and all that’s in it, implanting unique skills and talents into each of us for His purposes. We are invited to co-create and help build His Kingdom here on earth.
-
God establishes the work of our hands and equips us for every good work (Psalm 90:17, Hebrews 13:21). What He has called us to do is important to Him. Therefore we place significant Kingdom and worldly value on our work, just as He does.
-
We are God’s favorite daughters, the “apple of His eye” (Psalms 17:8). In service to our creative calling, we are about our Father’s business, and therefore we expect favor and provision for the journey. We have confidence in how we show up in the world because of who our Father is.
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.
-Ephesians 3:20
