After spending years working in Catholic leadership roles, from serving on the Catholic Women in Business board to collaborating with parishes nationwide, I felt a clear call to start my own business. Through these experiences, I've witnessed daily how God works through creative communications to touch hearts and spread the Good News. It's now my mission to help others share their faith-filled purpose with the world.
Throughout this journey, I've been guided by the wisdom and intercession of St. John Paul II, whose influence shapes every decision and project at Paloma & Fig.
God planted a seed in my heart, a vision to blend these two passions into something meaningful.
I've always felt most alive when creating and evangelizing my Catholic faith.
I’m Christina
Our Founder & Creative Director: Christina Sabo
"Paloma," Spanish for dove, connects me to precious memories of my grandmother and mother singing "Palomita Blanca." Amazingly, doves appeared during my final conversation with my grandmother in her garden, a moment of divine confirmation. My grandmother, who regularly sought St. John Paul II's intercession for me, shared with me her love of faith, family, and God's creation.
"Fig" comes from sacred scripture, representing timeless elegance. Together, these elements weave a story of tradition, heart, and faith that guides our work.
The name Paloma & Fig emerged through prayer and holds deep personal meaning.

"You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
My Favorite Scripture: Matthew 5:14-16
I'm captivated by the work of Claude Monet, the father of Impressionism, who revolutionized how we see the natural world. Through his masterful play with light and shadow, he captured each scene’s essence as it came alive with light and ever-changing colors as the day progressed. His work taught me to seek beauty in every situation, just as he found endless inspiration in the world around him.
My Favorite Artist: Claude Monet
Growing up, St. John Paul II was pope for the majority of my adolescence. This infused my childhood with inspiration as I observed his true love for people, the arts, and family. He always had a way of spreading Christ's light through humble yet impactful ways all over the world. Seeing and experiencing this, stirred in my heart an even deeper love of my Catholic faith.
My Favorite Saint: St. John Paul II
