Why the name then, create.?
The comma is intentional. It's a pause — the moment between deciding to do something and actually doing it.
Most people we work with have been thinking about their project for a while. They know what they want — they just need someone who can build it. That's where we come in. Then, create.
We're a husband-and-wife team based in Chicagoland. Keith handles production and AV — live events, system installs, mixing and mastering. Julianna handles design — interiors, furniture, sourcing, and the full creative direction of the brand.
No sales team, no account managers. When you hire us, you work with us. That's the whole point.
Who you're working with
Audiovisual Lead
Keith Perez
15+ years running sound, building AV systems, and producing events across Chicagoland. From church installs to music festivals — if it has a speaker, a screen, or a stage, he's probably touched it.
Interior Design Lead
Julianna Perez
Interiors that feel right — not staged, not trendy, just yours. Consultations, furniture painting, sourcing, and coordinating contractors. Clients don't hire her once — they keep coming back.
