The Creative Color Story
Creative Color Inc., established in 2004, is a Minneapolis-based full service graphic design and print company. Two driven, inventive guys- our vision was clear as we established a strong foundation for the future. After many strong years of collaboration, 2010 marked a new chapter in our journey when the business was relocated to a more central location in the twin cities. This allowed us to build many new relationships as we engaged our clients with higher efficiency and an expanded service area.
With a true passion for the industry, and creativity staying front of mind- the synergy was rocking and our crew was growing fast while having fun in the process!
Further expansion allowed us to accommodate for additional print and finishing equipment, and increased vehicle installation space was added. As the company continued to thrive our footprint was again becoming limited. After 7 more years of hard work and dedication to the craft, we took the big leap in 2017 by purchasing a state-of-the-art 22,500 sf building in Minneapolis. Our new home provides us with the opportunity to take on bigger, better and more challenging projects than ever before. With limitations set aside, we have taken the reins of creativity to new heights including the addition of a UL listed illuminated sign fabrication department.
Commitment
Our team of highly inspired designers, sales professionals, and uniquely skilled craftsmen, has allowed us the opportunity to excel in an ever changing and competitive arena. Our focus is on award-winning design, custom sign fabrication, master carpentry, vehicle wraps, large format printing, branded environments, illumination, and certified installation services.
Creative Color invests in long lasting relationships that withstand the test of time. We have a true appreciation for the history of the craft and pride ourselves in education, solid core values, in-depth product knowledge, and exceptional customer service.

Creativity and Technology have always been a passion of mine and a big influence throughout my life. From a pencil and paper to a computer mouse doesn’t matter the medium, art inspires me. In my free time, I’m a German car nut and have some pretty awesome hot wheels races with my kids!
Jeffrey
Since the time I was a child I knew that creativity needed a place in my life. Started with a guitar and has only grown from there. Nothing more rewarding than creating something from the ground up. By night I moon light as a super hero, keep your eye in the streets!
Branden
I’m a total goofball at heart and packed full of energy! When I’m not at the shop making cool sh*t, I’m spending time with my kiddos – exploring and traveling. In my free time I find peace taking a burn on the motorcycle/car or being out in nature hitting the trails. Brent and I are twin bros – keep that in mind when you stop by as I love fooling new and old clients! 😛
Jennifer
Art and creativity has always been a passion of mine from a young age. Designing, drawing, painting, photography – I love it all. When not in the office, you can find me leading my daughter’s girl scout troop or chasing around my kids, my camera in my hand and spit up in my hair.
Hannah
Design enthusiast. Font fanatic. Interior designer wanna-be. I tend to enjoy the creative side of things. Most of my hobbies are things I can DIY or just working on house projects in our new home. What I love most in this world is my dog, Arlo. And my husband. I am excited for this new adventure as the newest member of Creative Color and I look forward to what the future brings!
Kyle | Admiral Awesome
I am a man of many talents, none of them are for writing an autobiography.
I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember. I’ve done almost every kind of art there is. Drawing, painting, pottery, origami, kirigami, woodworking, photography, and of course, graphic design. I just love creating art in all its forms.
Max
Self-proclaimed pixel wizard and vicious doodler. Whether I’m creating a logo, designing a poster, or altering digital imagery, I’m going to be loving it no matter what! My favorite things to design are movie posters, logos for friends, and digital icons! When I’m not designing, I’m usually gaming, critiquing movies, or going on various adventures with my wife! Or wizarding pixels, I’m the pixel wizard.
Bradley
I’m the designer who’s all about forward-thinking branding and creating designs that push boundaries. When I’m off the clock, you’ll probably find me getting lost in video games. My partner and I also love building props and cosplaying, especially for Renaissance Fairs and conventions! In the summer, I’m all about tending to my gardens, but when the snow falls or the rain rolls in, there’s nothing better than curling up with my cat, Loki, listening to lo-fi beats, and sketching away with my 100 house plants surrounding me.
Don
Some will say I have ink running thru my veins. Over the last 36 years have worked in many different aspects of the industry. I really enjoy engaging with my clients with developing strategic marketing projects. By concepting new projects with strategy, creative concepting, design, and print production. When I am not at work you will find me along with my wife and family at our family cabin, camping on the north shore, cruising, fishing or hunting in the fall.
Katie
I may deal with numbers day to day, but I do not lack the creative bug! My background is in interior design, but enjoy all aspects of design. That is why I love being part of this awesome team here at creative. In my free time I love being with my little ones. We enjoy being outside as much as possible, biking, taking our dog for a walk, or just playing tag. Not to brag, but I am the ongoing champion of hide an seek!
