a small studio. on purpose.
boutique isn't a brand. it's a constraint. small enough that you talk to the person doing the work. small enough to actually care about the thing you're building.
i'm c. ornelas.
[founder spark — 2-3 sentences on why you started creatorminds. send when ready and i'll drop it in.]
this studio is intentionally one person, with a small bench of collaborators i actually trust. when a project needs more hands — design, motion, dev-ops, illustration — i bring them in. when it doesn't, i don't.
if that sounds like a small thing, it is. that's the point. the small studios are the ones that still give a damn about your project on month six.
people we tap, by discipline.
no one is on payroll. everyone is on speed dial. it keeps the studio small and the work specific.
- 01 design when the brief is the problem
- 02 motion when the interface should feel alive
- 03 dev-ops when the thing has to scale before you do
- 04 illustration when nothing off the shelf will do
- 05 copy when the words are doing the heavy lifting
- 06 audio when product sound matters as much as ui
the studio, briefly.
- 2024 pixelvolution starts taking on app work, not just sites.
- 2025 first long-haul SaaS clients ship in production.
- 2026 creatorminds becomes its own thing. this site goes live.
- next the project you haven't told us about yet.
