My name John May and I started Creekstone Designs almost two decades ago in Minneapolis, Minnesota, fresh off the heels of living a dual life as a business consultant for one of the "Big 6" and doing design and remodels for clients.
Yes, you can put custom wainscoting, floating shelf systems and elaborate lighting schemes in a concrete block dorm but as I discovered with the help of the facilities staff, uninstalling all of it is a different story.After college, I undertook an unassisted bicycle trip across the country and trek across Nepal before I started an incredible career with one of the top consulting firms in the country.

Working with John and the entire Creekstone team has been nothing but a pleasant and invaluable experience.
The highlight of my experience of working with Creekstone is that they are always, and I mean ALWAYS, striving to improve the overall client experience. Whether it's from their processes that make it easier for the client to understand the next steps to reach their goal or the thoughtful and creative designers that make sure the clients vision comes to life. I personally noticed that from there designers who are ready to meet onsite with the contractors and clients to make sure no miscommunication

Loved working with John and Creekstone Designs!
We have a typical split level mid-60's house in Southwest Portland. The basement was "finished" (floor, walls and ceiling) - a perfect place to store bikes and boxes, but not very hospitable to people.
We had a thought to make the jump to human habitation, and selected John May at Creekstone to come to the table with a vision.
John met us several times during hours that worked for us, and went over options. Best use of space, flooring options, paint color, lighting and trim.
John worked with us when new ideas popped into our heads, helped direct
