Founder & CEO Kristen Rodgers
August Design & Co. wasn’t born in a boardroom or business plan. It was born in a quiet moment of surrender.
For years, I followed the path that made sense on paper, a stable, successful career in the medical field. But beneath the surface, there was a gentle tug on my heart. A whisper I couldn’t ignore. God was calling me into something different. Something unknown. Something creative, purposeful, and deeply rooted in Him.
It didn’t come with a roadmap. It came with a decision: to trust Him even when it didn’t make sense.
August—a month symbolic of new beginnings and harvest, I laid everything down. The title, the salary, the security. And in that sacred release, God began to build something far more beautiful than I could have imagined. August Design & Co. was born.
This company is more than a design studio. It’s a reflection of what happens when you hand your plans to the One who authored your purpose. It’s where minimalism meets meaning, where beauty is laced with eternity, and where every space carries a story of redemption, restoration, and grace.
Here, design isn’t just what we do—it’s how we worship.
Whether we’re staging homes, creating timeless interiors, or supporting missions around the world, every detail is done with intention, excellence, and faith. Because when God builds something, it’s never just for us—it’s always for His glory.

At August Design & Co., we believe beautiful spaces should reflect an even more beautiful purpose. That’s why a portion of every project is sown into causes that change lives and build hope.
Our heart for design is deeply rooted in a heart for people. We believe that beauty isn’t just found in the spaces we create, but in the lives we touch along the way. Through every project, we’re honored to give back and support causes that align with our mission of faith, restoration, and hope.
We stand in support of Israel through Ark of Israel, a faith-based initiative dedicated to providing aid, advocacy, and awareness for the people and land of Israel. Through prayer, provision, and partnership, we are committed to uplifting God’s chosen nation in both practical and spiritual ways.
A portion of our proceeds helps fund Hope Station, a nonprofit organization offering transitional housing and support to single mothers in need. Every space we design becomes a seed sown into helping these women find safe shelter, renewed confidence, and a fresh start.
We are proud to benefit St. Jude, a world-renowned children’s hospital leading the fight against childhood cancer and life-threatening diseases. Their commitment to providing care at no cost to families aligns with our belief in generous, unwavering love.
Use your gifts to design with purpose.
At August Design & Co., we believe design is more than just aesthetic - it's a calling to create spaces that reflect peace, purpose, and the presence of God. We're building a team of passionate, talented individuals who want to use their creativity to make a difference - in homes, in hearts, and in communities.
