Our Story - Spreading the Word, One Design at a Time
Our Story
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel,
because it is the power of God
that brings salvation to everyone who believes."

How it started
A Prayer and a Photoshop File
Hi, we are Chester and Lalaine. Co-founders, ministry partners, and husband and wife. Chester brings 20+ years in graphic design and print production. Lalaine brings the heart, the faith, and the steady reminder of why we started this in the first place.
Calvary Design Prints started as a small Etsy shop, a handful of digital scripture cards, and one big prayer that God would use it for something. That prayer is still being answered.
This is not just what we do. It is who we are.
"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus."
Colossians 3:17
How we create
Designed, Printed, and Prayed Over
What started as print-on-demand became something more intentional. Today every shirt, hoodie, and tote that leaves our hands has been designed, printed, and prayed over right here in Carson, CA, by Chester and Lalaine.
We believe apparel can be a door. A quiet witness to someone who needed to see exactly that verse at exactly that moment.
That is not an accident. That is on purpose. And it takes both of us to make it happen.
"More than a brand. This is a ministry. Every purchase helps support Christian outreach, missions work, and discipleship efforts both locally and abroad."

Faith in Action
From Carson to the Philippines
Our reach does not stop at your doorstep. Lalaine's roots in the Philippines have shaped the heart of this ministry from day one. Together, Chester and Lalaine have committed to actively serving communities there, with a particular heart for underserved and overlooked areas.
That calling led to the creation of the Padayon Growth Foundation.
