Individually, our stories have been filled with startling contradictions and dramatic twists, which at times we have accepted, periodically fought but eventually have come to appreciate greatly.

We have evolved and transformed as we progressed through our individual stories since starting in West Memphis, Arkansas, and Detroit, Michigan. Some events seemed messy through each progressive chapter, and experiences felt contradictory and odd. Still, all along each page flip was leading us to perfectly discover each other in Orlando, Florida in 2013. We started dating four years later, which eventually led us to get married in 2018.

It was essential for us to live out our marriage and navigate our family with a purpose from the very beginning. As a result, we peered into our missions for insight and prayerfully petitioned for guidance in discovering our family mission. Ultimately the complex, challenging, and fun work of determining how two very different people, called into a unique union, would serve the world as a family paid off. Our mission is…

Help people access hope, power, purpose and beauty through art, education, and community.

Individually, our family mission is lived out through our existing ventures:

• The Conduit, a coworking space
  Blank Canvas Studio A, an adult paint night and children’s art program company.

Additionally, we combine our efforts to conduct art, entrepreneurship, and educational workshops for children and adults living in underserved communities throughout Orlando and Havana, Cuba, and care for our son, Roman Christian.

Last but not least, our ultimate desire is for God to use our marriage, work, and family to provide hope and a glimpse of His unconditional love to every community and person He calls us to do life with.

“Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” - Jeremiah 29:7

The Steeles look forward to seeking your welfare and serving you through our mission.
