A small, senior‑led practice.
Founded in 2010, privately held, and built on design and development experience that goes back to 1997. Clients work directly with the people responsible for design decisions, technical architecture, and delivery.

Alongside the core team, Creative Planet works with a small network of trusted specialists — developers, designers, and others — brought in when a project calls for them. Several have worked with us for many years, so clients keep the same standards and the same direct contact.
Design first, structure always
Creative Planet was founded in 2010, but its practice is older. Before it, its founder ran Fastlane Inc. in Los Angeles from 1997, working with clients such as Twentieth Century Fox, Fox Kids, Guess, and Nancy Corzine, and from 2000 Fraggleway SARL in France, for clients including Michelin, BIC, Calyon, and the French Ministry of Ecology and the Environment.
That work was already both design and development: for Michelin, its full anniversary website and the website of its travel magazine; for Calyon, the intranet used across its bank branches. Alongside came visual identity, branding, and print. The same structured thinking now shapes a sprint or an information architecture as much as it once shaped a logo system.
Standards that don't change per project
Privacy & hosting
GDPR-aligned by default. EU/EEA-based hosting, encrypted transfer, role-based access control as standard.
Accessibility
WCAG accessibility certification completed, applied from the start of design, not a checklist at the end.
Confidential when needed
Projects involving sensitive systems or information can be covered by a non-disclosure agreement before any details are shared. Screenshots shown on this site have sensitive information removed.
Clear rights, agreed up front
Rights to code and assets are set out in each contract, not assumed. Clients typically receive the right to use and adapt the system for their own needs, while Creative Planet keeps ownership, which keeps development costs lower. Full transfer of ownership is possible when a project requires it.
