Creative creator
I’m Greg Dietzenbach, a creative director and artist based in Iowa. I make things that don’t exist yet. Sometimes that means designing immersive museum exhibits or creating bold brand visuals. Other times, it’s a knock-knock-joke-telling Halloween door or a chalk drawing that talks through your smartphone. I follow ideas wherever they go—and they rarely lead anywhere ordinary.
Half human, half crow, all creative.
Crows are clever, curious, and hard to pin down. That’s how I work too. I gather bits of inspiration, whether visual, conceptual, or absurd, and build something new from them. Creativity, for me, is about exploration. The best ideas are the ones that catch you off guard, shift your thinking, or just make you smile.
What I do:
I work in illustration, storytelling, public art, digital experiments, wild Halloween costumes, and installations. I don’t stay in one lane because I’m not wired that way.
Each project is a puzzle I invent and then solve, usually with a mix of curiosity, problem-solving, and a whole bunch of joy.
Where I came from and where I’m going.
I grew up on a gravel road in the Midwest, where the days were quiet and the weirdness even quieter. But I think creativity should be loud. Shared. Celebrated. I want to make things that shift someone’s day by just a few degrees. Something strange enough to stop them, familiar enough to pull them in, and surprising enough to stick.
Art, for me, is less about mastery and more about momentum. One small spark of curiosity, followed through. That’s what I hope to bring to my community—and what I hope to keep building, one odd idea at a time.
