Reflecting
Every creative journey starts with an idea. That idea grows through effort, experimentation, passion and creativity. As we look back, it’s exciting to see how far we’ve come and how much momentum we’ve built! What started as a few passion projects has grown into a collaborative journey with real impact.
Where We Started

Stanis Creative began with a love of storytelling and a drive to create. Our first projects were small but full of meaning: filming and drawing supplements for nursing students, maintaining small website projects, and producing promotional materials for local festivals. These projects weren’t just about the final product; they were (and continue to be) about people, stories, and community.
From the start, our mission has been simple: to blend creativity, storytelling, and connection. Whether it’s capturing the sound of a live performance, designing something that makes people smile, or sharing a story that inspires others to be creative, we’ve aimed to make art that brings people together.
What We’ve Built
Over time, our creative reach has grown. We’ve built a foundation that spans video production, digital art, animation, hand crafted lines, and marketing support for small businesses and artists. Each project reflects our belief that creativity isn’t limited to one medium.
Our family team makes that collaboration possible. Each of us brings different skills to the table. From film, design, marketing, crafting, and storytelling, we turn ideas into reality. That teamwork is what makes Stanis Creative unique and versatile for any project!

Trends & Opportunities We’re Watching
We’ve also been keeping an eye on where creativity is headed. The rise of digital-first creative businesses has opened up new ways for artists and makers to share their work. More than ever, audiences are craving authenticity; real stories, local roots, and creative voices they can connect with.
We’ve also seen growing excitement around educational and DIY creative experiences. People want to make things with their own hands, learn new skills, and to feel part of something bigger. Our crochet and cross stitch kits have shown us how art can empower others to create too.
Our Next Steps

Looking ahead, we’re ready to scale what we’ve started. On the media side, we’re expanding our video and event production to support more artists, musicians, and community organizations. On the crafting side, we’re growing our crochet and cross stitch patterns that celebrate handmade creativity. (see our free cross stitch Hamish pattern below!)
We’re also building partnerships with musicians, festival organizers, and small businesses who share our vision of creative collaboration. Long term, our goal is to develop Stanis Creative into a hub that supports both artistic and community initiatives. A place where stories, skills, and people come together to make something truly meaningful.
Conclusion: Creativity as Connection

At the heart of everything we do is one simple truth: creativity connects us. It’s how we tell our stories, how we build community, and how we make the world a little brighter.
We’re deeply grateful for the support, collaborations, and encouragement we’ve received along the way. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to keep growing, creating, and connecting!
