About Us


Bryan & Kim Atwood

Talking Donkey Designs was created out of a passion for design and a desire to serve others by using our God-given talents to meet a need for innovative, effective design. Our collaborative creative process delivers exciting designs that are relevant to today’s audiences. Our goal is to exceed your expectations with designs that get people talking - about you, your organization, your products, your mission.

The name, Talking Donkey, comes from the story of Balaam in the book of Numbers.  It was used with the idea that God can use anyone to do great things, even an old beaten donkey, and our goal is to help you achieve great things.

We are a husband and wife team who founded Talking Donkey Designs because we believe that our combined talents, vision and experience offer our clients a unique resource.  We understand what it takes to turn a vision into an innovative, marketable design reality.

Bryan began his career in design while pursuing degrees in architecture from Clemson University and Virginia Tech.  At Virginia Tech, he helped lead the team that designed and built the 2005 Virginia Tech Solar House, which went on to win numerous design awards and which has been featured nationally on  ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and HGTV’s “I Want That,” and in magazines such as Dwell and Popular Mechanics.

Ultimately, Bryan felt called to "higher" design and began creating thought-provoking, conversation-starting designs for a faith-based apparel company, earning recognition and a spot in a special exhibit at The Museum of Design Atlanta in 2007. Today, Bryan’s creative talents and design expertise are devoted to Talking Donkey Designs.

Kim pursued degrees in marketing, corporate communication, and mass communication from the College of Charleston and University of Georgia. She currently teaches business communication courses for the University of South Carolina and online for Emmanuel College. In addition to her work in academia, Kim has over ten years of experience in marketing and public relations consulting.

Bryan and Kim met when they were both asked to work on the leadership team for a new ministry outreach for their church.  Bryan was asked to design the logo and print materials, while Kim was working on promoting the ministry in the surrounding community.  And a divine partnership was born.


Talking Donkey Designs is focused on helping ministries bring in the Lord's harvest.
