About Crimson Quill Creative

Our History: From Film School Dreams to Austin's Creative Hub

Crimson Quill Creative began as a shared vision between two University of Texas film school classmates, Eleanor Vance and Jasper Holt. While immersed in the world of cinema, they recognized the immense power of visual storytelling to connect with audiences on a deeply emotional level. They also saw a growing need among Austin businesses and individuals for high-quality, engaging visual content that could elevate their brands and capture their unique stories.

In 2018, Eleanor and Jasper decided to turn their shared passion into a reality, founding Crimson Quill Creative. Starting with a small office space in East Austin, they focused on building a reputation for creative excellence, exceptional service, and a collaborative approach that put their clients' needs first. Their dedication quickly paid off, and Crimson Quill Creative began attracting a diverse range of clients, from local startups to established corporations. The initial focus was on film and video projects, but, soon, the demand for commercial photography and brand-focused design expanded the company's reach into new services.

As Crimson Quill Creative grew, Eleanor and Jasper assembled a team of talented photographers, videographers, and graphic designers who shared their commitment to quality and their passion for visual storytelling. They fostered a collaborative and supportive work environment where creativity could thrive and where every team member felt empowered to contribute their unique skills and perspectives. Today, Crimson Quill Creative is a thriving creative hub located in the heart of South Lamar, serving clients throughout Austin and beyond.
