Big News in Residential Architecture!🏡

We’re thrilled to announce Kaleb Overman as the new Project Manager leading our Residential Architecture Sector—and yes, undoubtably the biggest Scooby-Doo fan you’ll ever meet. 🐾

Kaleb doesn’t just design homes—he crafts experiences. With years of passion for architecture, he creates spaces that are elevated, full of personality, and truly livable. His secret? He starts by listening deeply, then transforms lifestyle, site, and materials into intentional, thoughtful design. Along the way, he guides clients through a smooth, confident process—making dream homes a reality without sacrificing vision or budget.

Our Residential Architecture Division bridges the gap between traditional lumberyard-build approaches and commercial-grade design rigor. We deliver bespoke homes and multifamily projects where every detail—inside and out—is purposeful, functional, and tailored to the owner.

We can’t wait to see the magic Kaleb will bring to every home! Welcome to the Create team!

Please join us in welcoming Mitchell Schlingman to the CREATE d+d Architects team! 🎉

Mitch is a proud SDSU grad and our newest Project Manager, bringing sharp organizational skills, a strong design eye, and a talent for keeping projects running smoothly. He’ll help facilitate designs, streamline communication, and make sure our clients get an exceptional experience.

CREATE is a boutique sized firm, and we plan to keep it that way — adding Mitch means we now have the perfect team balance of five, with Justin Oleson finally having a bro on the crew along with the three ladies! 😉 His energy and expertise are a perfect fit for our mission, and we can’t wait to kick butt together on the work ahead.

Welcome aboard, Mitchell Schlingman! 🙌
