About

Hello!

My name is Chelms Varthoumlien and I'm a graphic designer/visual communicator, photographer, and conceptual artist based in Toronto. I'm a Christian and was saved by the grace of God in the year 2006. Since then, I've committed my life to following Christ and pursuing my utmost for His highest being sustained continually by His grace and mercy.

I started this blog back in 2008 and dedicated it initially on posting content that catered to random antics and muses. But by the end of '08, I reoriented the blog to serve a better purpose; striving to encourage, edify, and strengthen Christians everywhere in their staggering walks. Thus, the name came to be suitably called Oikodome (οἰκοδομή) -- which in Greek means: building up, edification, strengthening, developing another person's life through acts and words of love and encouragement.

Nonetheless, do snoop around the blog and for anything else (e.g. you want to get a hold of me and say hello) check out the links below!

Cheers!
