What a year 2025 has been! It’s been full, busy, and a really blessed one. This year, I had the wonderful privilege of working alongside and collaborating with a number of charities and organisations that are close to my heart. Partnering with Maoz UK and Faithful Galileans, both of which do incredible work, has been an honour and a joy. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with them.
Another highlight has been seeing new products take shape! In 2025 I launched:
The Psalms Collection Calendars
The Guess Who - God’s Crew Game
The Psalms Collection & Names of God Display Cards Pack
Joshua Aaron 'You Are Holy' inspired artwork print
The Shabbat, holidays torah, Haftarah and apostolic flyer…and more!
It was such a blessing to host stalls at some truly special gatherings and events, including:
It’s always such a joy to meet new people, reconnect with familiar faces, and it's a great opportunity to have some great and meaningful conversations.
One of the most heartwarming moments this year was being invited by The Christian River School in Worcester for World Book Day. I had the delight of leading a workshop for the children based on my illustrated book ‘The Zig Zagging Zebra’, guiding them through storytelling, creativity, and the process of creating their own storybooks. Watching young imaginations come alive is something truly special!
I’m also super thrilled to share that our Chanukkiah range and brand new Shabbat candle holders are now being stocked by the stunning Contemporary Judaica Store -
a beautiful store for modern Judaica pieces. If you haven’t discovered them yet, their online store is well worth exploring! The Chanukkiah's also got a shout out in the Jewish Chronicle which was amazing!
A Heartfelt Thank You
To all my amazing customers - thank you. Thank you for your encouragement, your interest, your support, your conversations, your purchases and your kindness. I truly couldn’t do this without God’s direction and you lot too!
Running a small business/ministry isn’t always easy - it’s stretching, refining and requires constant trust. But your support really helps!
A Small Request That Makes a Big Difference

Looking Ahead to 2026
A new year has begun, and I’m excited! I have some new ideas and creative directions I can’t wait to share with you soon. But for now, I just want to speak blessing over you all -
‘Adonai bless you and keep you!
Adonai make His face to shine on you and be gracious to you!
Adonai turn His face toward you and grant you shalom!’
Thank you again for supporting Or’el Designs. Here’s to another year expectant to see what Adonai has in store!
Many blessing,
Olivia
