We are Creative Machines
Our staff includes experienced project managers, architects, design engineers, craftspeople, electrical engineers, certified welders, CNC technicians, and installers trained to operate heavy equipment and perform complex overhead work. We offer the benefits of a large team without losing the singular focus that one studio can give. Together we extend a consistency of vision to all aspects of a project.
We are united by a shared culture of creativity, enthusiasm, and respect. While President and Artistic Director Joseph O'Connell leads each project, everyone at Creative Machines is considered a collaborator. We have developed a fruitful environment for nurturing ideas, talents, and a positive outlook. This company culture goes into every piece we make.
