We design and manufacture the hardware. We architect and develop the software. From rotating spiral staircases to AI platforms for industry bottlenecks — out of one Chicago studio. It's all CreateStage Fabrication.
Custom metal — designed in CAD, fabricated in steel, finished by hand. Built to drawing. Built to last decades.
AI systems and custom platforms — architected for the industry bottlenecks nobody else will touch.
Same object. Both sides.
The 1,500-pound sculpture sign runs its own media server. The fire table is welded steel with embedded microcontrollers. The quoting app was built by the welders who needed it.
CreateStage Fabrication
We design + manufacture the hardware.
We architect + develop the software.
Most shops pick one. We refuse.
The weld cools. The compiler runs. The fire table grills a perfect picanha. Same hands. Same head. Same studio.

You tell us the problem. We dig into the bottleneck — physical product or broken process — until we understand what's actually happening.
Fabrication: CAD, materials, tolerances. Software: architecture, data mapping, user flows. You approve before anything gets built.
Metal gets cut. Code gets written. In-house. No outsourcing, no black boxes. You see progress in real time.
Fabrication: installed, finished, documented. Software: deployed, tested, handed off. Both: built to last.
We started as experiential designers — building physical structures where high tech meets the human scale.
Somewhere in the welding sparks and CAD lines, we fell in love with the craft of metal itself.
That obsession turned into years of sculpted tech-art — sculpture signs, interactive installations, architectural work where the material carries the intelligence.
Now our in-house software team closes the loop: AI platforms and custom code built for the industries we've been inside — solving the bottlenecks nobody else will touch.
