Onyx Creative, established from Herschman Architects in 1974, has evolved into a prominent national firm specializing in architecture, engineering, urban design, interior design, and branding. With decades of experience, the company transitioned from commercial and retail-based interior architecture to comprehensive ground-up building design in the mid-1990s. In 2005, Onyx Creative expanded its services by incorporating engineering disciplines and opened its headquarters in Warrensville Heights, Ohio. The firm has since grown to multiple locations across the U.S., including offices in Tucson, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Ventura, Baltimore, and Portland.
In its commitment to visionary and aspirational design, Onyx Creative initiated a dedicated design department in 2014, allowing for a broader and more innovative project portfolio. This holistic approach combines branding, architecture, and interior design, generating environments that evoke memorable experiences and draw people in. The company’s ethos revolves around providing clients with timeless, quality designs that not only satisfy functional needs but also elevate the everyday experience of users.
Onyx Creative fosters a collaborative and nurturing workplace culture, emphasizing trust, community, and professional growth among its diverse team. The firm proudly maintains higher-than-industry-average percentages of women employees and individuals from various international backgrounds, enriching its creative capabilities. Committed to employee well-being, Onyx Creative provides competitive benefits, training opportunities, and a relaxed, friendly work environment.
Having rebranded as Onyx Creative in 2018, the firm continues to explore the intersection of creativity and practicality to address the changing landscape of retail, commercial, and residential projects, ensuring that each design resonates deeply with the communities they serve.
