The Founder
Justin Mafie
Founder — CREOVA
CREOVA started with something simple: exploring his city, Justin watched excellent local businesses get overlooked — not for lack of talent or quality, but for lack of representation and visibility. He built CREOVA around visual storytelling and digital impact, to make world-class creative work accessible to everyone with a story worth telling.
“Creative stories. Digital impact.”
