ABOUT
WHO WE ARE
“Kurios” is a play on words. The pronunciation is like that of “curious” because curiosity is essential to creativity. The spelling is from the Greek, κύριος, which means LORD. This is taken from the Bible in Colossians 3:23-24:
“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the LORD and not for men, knowing that from the LORD you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”
Kurios Creative Media aims to uphold Christian values in our hard work ethic, commitment to excellence and utmost integrity as we seek to serve our clients.
Kurios Creative Media is led by Thaddeus, an experienced creative professional, who is passionate about using his skills to help other businesses excel in the service they provide.
Our Vision & MISSION

We highly value our client relationships and our top goal is their success. We provide consultation to help our clients figure out the scope and goals for their projects, establish a budget and realize their creative vision.
Our 3D’s
Design
We believe that a biblical standard for beauty is that its content must be true, its form must be aesthetically pleasing and it should serve a purposeful and useful function. This is our aim as we aspire to create and design truly beautiful work.
Detail
God gave detailed instructions about the Tabernacle for everything from the priestly garments designed “for glory and for beauty” (Exodus 28:2) to the burnt offering which was a “pleasing aroma.” (Exodus 29:18) Likewise, we pay careful attention to detail in our pursuit of excellence.
Dominion
In Genesis 1:28, God gives mankind the Dominion Mandate whereby we are to take the earth’s raw uncultivated materials and utilize them to make it productive and flourishing. We believe this is what we are fulfilling as we use our creative gifts to help others flourish.
Our core values
- Creating with passion and energy
- Working with excellence and diligence
- No-nonsense, clear communication
- High integrity and trustworthiness
- Exercising generosity and stewardship
- Exceeding expectations
