FAQ
Q: What services does Headlamp Creative Group provide?
​
A: Headlamp Creative Group provides art-forward creative services for commercial, hospitality, development, and select residential projects.
​
Our core services include experiential interior design, large-scale murals, custom fabrication, carpentry, dimensional installations, environmental branding, and creative direction.
​
Engagements can range from a single mural, installation, or custom-built feature to the creative development of an entire property. When multiple services are involved, they are designed to work together as one cohesive environment.
Q: What types of clients do you work with?
​
A: We work with commercial property owners, real estate developers, hospitality operators, general contractors, architects, businesses, brands, nonprofits, and select residential clients.
​
Projects range from murals and custom installations to restaurants, hospitality environments, branded commercial interiors, entertainment spaces, short-term rental properties, multifamily amenities, and full-property experiential design.
Q: Do you only create murals?
​
A: No. Murals are one of our core services, but our capabilities extend significantly beyond painted walls.
​
Headlamp Creative Group provides interior and experiential design, custom fabrication, carpentry, dimensional artwork, installations, environmental branding, and creative direction.
​
Clients can engage us for an individual service or bring us into a larger project to develop multiple elements under one creative vision.
​
Q: How are projects priced?
​
A: Every project is quoted individually based on its scope.
​
Pricing considerations may include project size, design complexity, number of spaces or locations, materials, fabrication requirements, surface conditions, accessibility, installation requirements, project timeline, travel, and level of creative involvement.
​
For larger interior design and experiential projects, scope is developed around the property, project objectives, build requirements, and level of involvement from concept through execution.
​
Q: What is the typical process?
​
A: The process varies depending on whether the engagement involves interior design, murals, fabrication, or a combination of services, but most projects follow a structured progression:
-
Initial consultation and project discovery
-
Site, property, and scope review
-
Creative direction and scope alignment
-
Proposal, agreement, and scheduling
-
Concept and design development
-
Client review and approval
-
Fabrication, production, and/or installation
-
Final walkthrough and project completion
​
For larger developments, we can also collaborate with architects, contractors, ownership teams, and other project partners throughout design development and execution.
​
Q: Can you handle both the design and the build?
​
A: Yes. One of our primary differentiators is the ability to connect creative direction with physical execution.
​
Depending on the project, Headlamp Creative Group can develop the overall creative vision and directly execute murals, carpentry, custom fabrication, dimensional installations, and other specialty elements.
​
For scopes requiring additional trades or technical disciplines, we collaborate with the appropriate architects, contractors, fabricators, and project partners while maintaining alignment with the overall creative direction.
​
Q: Are projects completed in-house?
​
A: Projects are creatively directed by Founder, Lead Artist & Experiential Strategist Eric Harold, providing direct creative involvement from concept through execution.
​
Murals, artwork, and select fabrication may be executed directly in-house. When project scale or specialized requirements call for additional resources, trusted assistants, fabricators, contractors, and specialty trades may be incorporated under coordinated creative direction.
​
This allows us to scale the team around the project without creating unnecessary agency layers between the client and the creative vision.
​
Q: What territories do you serve?
​
A: Headlamp Creative Group is Chicago-based and available for projects throughout the United States.
​
Concept development and project coordination can be handled remotely when appropriate, with travel incorporated for site visits, murals, fabrication, installation, creative oversight, and other on-site requirements.
​
Q: Are you insured?
​
A: Yes. Headlamp Creative Group maintains insurance coverage for commercial and residential projects and can provide a Certificate of Insurance upon request.
Project-specific insurance requirements can also be reviewed during the scoping process.
​​
Q: How do I get started?
​
A: Submit an inquiry with your project location, type of property, desired services, approximate dimensions or square footage, timeline, and any existing plans, photographs, or creative references.
​
We’ll review the project and determine the appropriate next step, whether you're looking for a mural, custom fabrication, interior design, or a complete experiential environment.
​
Q: Are you cool?
​
A: Yes
