WE ARE CREO

At CREO, we are passionate about design and its power to enhance the built environment and the lives of those who inhabit it. Guided by our experiences and high ideals, we navigate the complexities of every project with dedication and creativity. Beyond design, we value relationships—getting to know our clients and collaborators is at the heart of what we do. Because for us, great design is about more than just buildings—it’s about people and the connections we create along the way.

“How you do anything is how you do everything.”

Mission

CREO is an ARCHITECTURE & INTERIORS firm with a commitment to design-forward solutions for the built environment. At the core of our practice is a belief in the power of creativity and passion to pursue it to improve the place people live, work and play. We foster a culture of innovation and self-discipline, freedom and responsibility, and do not discriminate on projects by scale or budget, but rather welcome the challenge to exercise restraint, and design within the given parameters. All design projects are an opportunity to positively influence our surroundings, and at CREO we view it a privilege to help clients seize those opportunities.

Meaning

CREO in Spanish means I BELIEVE, and in Latin it is the root word of CREATE. The name embodies the ethos of the firm, we believe and therefore we create. Without belief there is no will to create, and at CREO we believe that; we can improve the world around us with well researched thoughtful design, and that truly successful design solutions depend on diversity of thought and a multi-disciplinary approach without bias, so that the best ideas prevail.

THE CREO STORY:

Our Story

Born from a love of design and a deep connection to our city, our firm was founded in San Antonio with a simple yet ambitious goal—to make the places we live, work, and gather more exciting, more inspiring, and more meaningful. We saw an opportunity to shape our city and beyond, creating spaces that not only look beautiful but enrich the lives of those who experience them.

From the start, we’ve believed in the power of design to transform businesses, communities, and everyday moments. Architecture, to us, isn’t just about buildings—it’s about the people who bring them to life. We draw from our own experiences, our travels, and our passion for art to create spaces that spark joy, foster connection, and stand as testaments to creativity.

Relationships are at the core of everything we do. Whether collaborating with clients, craftsmen, or communities, we know that the best designs emerge from shared vision and trust. That’s why we don’t just design for communities—we engage with them. Hosting community art events, fostering local collaborations, and bringing people together through creative expression has been a vital part of our journey.

Though our roots are in San Antonio, our work extends across the country and beyond, proving that great design knows no borders. Every project is a chance to push boundaries, to make something bold, something cool—something that turns everyday spaces into unforgettable places. Because for us, design isn’t just a profession. It’s a way of life.

Honing Our Craft

At CREO, we are makers at heart. Whether it's woodworking, welding, leather crafting, or candle making, our passion for hands-on creation fuels our approach to design. We believe that the act of making deepens our understanding of materials, construction, and craftsmanship—allowing us to create spaces that are both inspirational and buildable. By blending artistry with practicality, we design places that not only inspire but also stand the test of time.

Art is more than an influence—it’s a driving force behind everything we create. From architecture to interior design, we approach each project with an artist’s eye, blending form, color, texture, and composition to craft spaces that evoke emotion and tell a story. We draw inspiration from paintings, sculpture, and mixed media, infusing our designs with creativity and depth.
Just as great art challenges and inspires, we believe great design should do the same. Whether through bold architectural gestures, thoughtfully curated interiors, or the integration of handcrafted details, we strive to create spaces that feel as expressive and dynamic as a work of art.
We don’t just design—we build, craft, and create with our own hands. Our love for making, whether through woodworking, welding, or other hands-on fabrication, gives us a deep understanding of materials, construction techniques, and the realities of bringing a vision to life. This hands-on experience allows us to design spaces that are not only inspiring but also practical and buildable.
Our maker mindset also strengthens our collaboration with contractors and craftsmen. We speak their language, respect their process, and work closely with them to ensure our designs are both innovative and achievable. By blending creativity with technical knowledge, we bridge the gap between concept and construction, resulting in designs that are both beautifully conceived and expertly executed.
We believe that design is more than just aesthetics—it influences how we live, work, and experience the world around us. Thoughtful design has the power to transform ordinary spaces into inspiring places, shaping our moods, interactions, and daily lives in ways both subtle and profound.
From the way a building welcomes light to the flow of a well-crafted interior, every detail matters. Good design creates connection, enhances functionality, and enriches our experiences. It’s in everything we do—how we approach our work, how we engage with communities, and how we craft spaces that leave a lasting impact. For us, design isn’t just a profession. It’s a way of seeing, thinking, and living.
