The seminar I attended fostered an atmosphere in which free expression and creativity were desired and encouraged. As a disabled veteran, I was able to overcome my initial concerns and present my work in a group setting with confidence.

Brent Gerlach and the BG Creative team are amazing to work with. I’ve experienced some of the most detailed communication and follow-through that I’ve ever seen in nearly a decade as a self-employed business owner. If you want to connect with a design team that is relatable, dependable, and have a seemingly unlimited amount of creativity on tap, BG Creative should be your first choice! Highly recommend.

TRAVIS ZIEGLER

Brent and BG Creative is a powerhouse of creative energy. The events with which I have been a part, have been visually stunning and have been an honor to be included.

KOBBY BREWOO

BG Creative did a wonderful job on my website. I had a short timeline and Brent took on the challenge and successfully met my target date. After discussing what I was looking for in detail, he put together a work plan which we reviewed to make sure our respective expectations were clear from the onset. He was very organized, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable. As a result, he was able to ask probing questions and make thoughtful suggestions. As someone unfamiliar with aspects of technology, he had the patience and good humor to explain to me how things work. He provided guidance, technical expertise, and an artistic sensibility as he designed and documented each step of the project. I was very pleased with the final website. Bottomline he was delightful to work with, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a highly skilled website designer who understands the challenges artists face.

Brent’s been an amazing friend of mine for the past 5 years. I’ve had the pleasure of working with BG Creative several times now and I really could not recommend this company more. Concepts that come to mind are refreshing ingenuity, professionalism, a visionary attention to detail and a passion for bridging the gaps between what is possible to create together as a community. I was commissioned last year to create a wearable crown made of ceramic, glaze, crystal, leather, and real living plants growing out of the many openings of the piece (a wearable art piece for BG Creative’s fashion, dance and art party, SPHERES). It was one of my most interesting commissions to date; being a part of this event was just astounding and inspiring on many levels. It was a synthesis of so many different artist’s talents from such a wide range of disciplines showcased together around a fascinating theme. Haha I am intentionally talking a biiiit vague about it so you will be drawn to go to the website to check out the documentation of the event for your self…. 😉.

I also was recently asked to be the featured March “Creator of the Month” for Brent’s art blog. The series of these artist interviews are all very informative, honest, clean cut, and just beautiful snapshots into each artist’s life and practice. Really looking foreword on collaborating on many more projects in the future!!!! If you have the chance to work with this company I can say with certainty that it is a very good decision.

It’s amazing to know you’re working with a company that really supports its artists along with their clients. I work with Brent and his team every month doing illustrations for the “Creator of the Month” blog. This series of articles showcases new, talented, local creatives and focuses on the importance of bringing creatives into successful businesses. It also encourages creative thought for a new perspective in the workplace.

Professional, confident and organized. I know that each time I work with BG it will not only go smoothly, but will come out looking great! This company should be an inspiration for more creative organizations. These guys support their artists and work right along with them. BG is there every step of the way, working with you to get the best outcome and making sure that the creative spark is always alive.
