Mosaic: Building Inclusive Jewish Communities

30/08/2026

A first look at the visual identity for MOSAIC.

Classically, I had the privilege of doing this wonderful brand work with the incredible Vic Ulsh back in July. But medical struggles and chronic pain have held me back from properly sharing it until now. I was determined to get this out into the world before summer completely disappeared—because slow, steady, and accessible progress is always better than nothing at all.

You might have already noticed my handle and bio quietly change to reflect this transition! I am so in love with this mark and can’t wait to use it across all the spaces and resources I'm creating.

This isn’t just a "new look"—it is the very first visual look at the business and community infrastructure I am building. Mosaic brings together my work in consultation, advocacy, support, and education under one structural roof.

Swipe through to see the mark deconstructed! 🪞✨

(Stay tuned this week—I'll be breaking down the 5 core pillars and sharing a deep dive into the intentional accessibility choices behind the design.)

Mosaic is officially LIVE!

This idea spent 2 years in incubation—a journey heavily guided by Shev Simon, who helped me build the business structure and recommended the two incredible teams that brought it to life.

First, the legend Vic Ulsh. Vic took every random color I connected with, noted all the logo and icon elements I disliked, and crafted a brand identity like no other. She also built an epic set of social and document templates, meaning I can easily create content moving forward without relying on AI graphics!

Then, the Awaken team (Keren, Dani & co.) stepped in. They took the strategic business ideas and structure I built with Shev, combined them with gorgeous brand photography by Rebecca Sigala, and turned it all into a website that speaks for me better than I ever could for myself. They made it all make perfect marketing sense. Seriously, the copy is absolute perfection.

I plan to do a proper, deep-dive breakdown of the logo, the icons, the website, and all of my new offerings soon. But that is going to take a moment!

I'm actually writing this from a hospital waiting room right now. Nothing urgent—just follow-ups—but I'm currently busy balancing all the medical things that seem to multiply as I divide.In the meantime, the doors are open. My page graphics are still getting a little makeover behind the scenes, but you can see the gorgeous final brand identity live on the site right now!

Showing up fully: Pride Month and the Evolution of Mosaic. ✨✡️🏳️‍🌈♿

If you’ve been following my journey since the "Disabled Dreamer" days, you know how much heart went into mapping out my vision. But growth demands evolution. Today, I’m switching out my old profile photo because that previous version of me had absolutely no idea that this current version of myself—and my business, Mosaic—was waiting inside of me to be built.

With Pride Month here, it feels like the perfect time to stand in my full identity.

Hi, I’m Jude!
I am a Jewish, disabled, q***r, trans man. The road to get here hasn't always been easy, but it gave me my purpose. I was helped along the way by visible disabled and trans lamplighters who held up a light when the world felt dark. Now, I’m paying it forward.

Through Mosaic, I am in the business of bringing more light and healing to different aspects of brokenness in our communities. I’m partnering with leaders to create genuine accessibility and inclusion, helping to build spaces where we can all show up as our whole selves.

Every shard catches the light. Let’s build something beautiful together.

Welcome to the Mosaic! ✡️🏳️‍🌈♿️

Life has felt a bit overwhelming lately, so I’m guessing you might have missed a few updates here on my page. My website is still in its "dreaming stage" while I navigate the push and pause of medical appointments, Master's studies, sirens, and building this business in bursts.

I wanted to take a second to break down what you’ll actually find when you click the link in my bio. My work really lives in four places:

1.The Manifest: A place for the words that need more room to breathe. This is my space for updates, creative ideas, and thoughts that don't always fit on social media.

2.The Shmooze: This is the professional consulting side. I work with leaders, educators, and rabbis who want to build actual belonging.

3.The Stories: The anthologies! This is where I’m archiving our community's voices so they don't get lost.

4. The Archive: This is the heart of it. Over four years of my own poetry, research, and reflections as the Disabled Dreamer.

I’m building Mosaic because I’m creating what I needed as a kid, in the rhythm that my q***r, disabled body allows today. Whether you’re here to lead, to share your story, or just to read along, I’m so glad you’re here.

31.

Today, I sat down with the business roadmap I gave myself as a birthday gift two years ago—the Business Brandshine outline created with the incredible Shev Simon.

There was a initial twinge of "I can't believe it took me this long," but then I saw the reality: I’ve actually done most of it.

It took two years to work through that structure, build the bones, and finally reach the "beautifying" stage. As a disabled, q***r creator, I’m constantly reminding myself that I’m on a different timeline—but seeing the checkmarks on this list is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

I used to chase the "30 Under 30" dream. But turning 31 today, I realize the person I am now—and the business I’ve finally built—needed those extra years to grow. I couldn't have built this version of Mosaic back then.

Last year’s goal was to self-publish my poetry and micro-memoirs. It’s still in progress, moving forward between degrees, moving house, and medical appointments.

Today, I don’t need a new list of "lofty" goals. I just want to keep the current ones in motion. I’m celebrating 31 years of never giving up and the community that’s held me along the way.

PS: If you do visual branding of all types:logos,photography and websites,lets talk
