“The inspiration for Creative Works came from my grandpa, a master craftsman and cabinetmaker, who got his start in the late 1880’s. He encouraged me to creatively combine my experience in business and construction to build a business that would ignite the fun industry.”

Jeff Schilling, Founder of Creative Works

“We are relentless about infusing fun into the work environment at Creative Works. That means I spend a lot of time with each individual — to hear their stories and learn what lights their motivational fires — so we can truly build an EPIC team and succeed together.”

Kimberly Schilling, Facilitator of Fun

“Encouraging play has always been one of my passions, from working in an FEC at 18 years old to studying early childhood education to managing a laser tag facility. At Creative Works, we help our customers create spaces where children can be creative, energetic and build friendships. Because play is a wonderful gift to give the world.”

Amy Lanuti, Leader of Fun

“As lead of the Design team, knowing that I play a small part in creating amazing attractions all over the world is just one of the many reasons why I love what I get to do!”

Katie Ross, Director of Creative Design

“Our team is one of the most creative and diverse groups of people that I’ve had the good fortune to work with. Every day is an opportunity to grow as an individual and as a company.”

Sean Williams, Production Manager
