Creative Brands Group

Brands for the places people live.

Creative Brands Group, LLC is a Texas company. We design backyards at Outdoor Living, invent and develop products at Bolt Studios, and engrave keepsakes at Ours to Hold.

We start where most people dream about their home: the backyard. A photo, a plan, a pool, a weekend build. Then we make it simple to get there.

Outdoor Living

Backyard design for homeowners anywhere in the country, from a free first look to a finished yard built by a vetted local contractor.

  1. Design from one photo

    Upload a photo of your yard and see it redesigned with patios, plantings, fire features and plunge pools.

  2. Work with a real designer

    A landscape designer models your actual home and delivers renders and 2D plans, with a free call to talk it through.

  3. Get it built

    We match your plan with a vetted contractor near you, including installers for plunge, container and stock tank pools.

DIY plans Step-by-step plans for outdoor furniture and builds, with lumber from any home center.

Bolt Studios

Our invention and product development studio. We take an idea from a sketch on paper to a product that ships, and we build our own products the same way.

Design, 3D modeling, photoreal renders, prototypes, factory sampling and launch all happen under one roof, so an idea never gets lost between vendors.

It starts as an idea, usually on paper. Drag the slider to build it.

What happens in the studio

  • Invention

    We find the gap in a market, sketch the answer, and test whether people want it before anything gets made.

  • Design and 3D

    Every product is modeled in 3D to real dimensions, so parts fit, costs are known and files go straight to the factory.

  • Photoreal renders

    Lifestyle images and turntable views made from the 3D model, ready to sell a product before the first unit exists.

  • Prototyping

    In-house laser cutting and engraving turn a file into a part in hours. We build it, break it and fix it here.

  • Manufacturing

    We work with overseas factories on samples, revisions and production runs, landed duty-paid in Texas.

  • Launch and licensing

    Listings, packaging, photography and store setup, or a ready-to-pitch package for brands that want to license the idea.

Have an invention or a product you want made?Tell us what it is. We'll tell you honestly whether it can be built and sold.

Each brand has its own customers and its own voice. Behind them, one small team in Texas handles the design, the making and the work of turning an idea into something real.
