We have some exciting news to share: Dabney Hyman has joined the Creative team, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome her aboard.

Dabney steps into a dedicated role focused on serving Virginia’s Architecture and Design community – working alongside Ryan Mayton and Aubrey Giedlin to deepen our relationships with the designers and architects who shape the spaces we all live and work in. This expansion reflects something we believe firmly: the A&D community deserves a partner that truly shows up – one that understands how you work, respects your process, and helps you get to your client meeting faster and more prepared.

A proud Richmond native and graduate of Appalachian State University, Dabney brings a genuine passion for design to everything she does. She is excited to help architects and interior designers connect their creative vision with Creative’s industry-leading, insight-driven portfolio of workplace interiors and technology solutions.

“I am so excited to be a part of Creative’s A&D team and I look forward to supporting the vibrant work that the architects and designers in our community are engaged in.” — Dabney Hyman

Since joining the team, Dabney has hit the ground running — diving deep into the Steelcase partners portfolio to develop the product knowledge that allows her to be a truly valuable resource from day one. That kind of commitment to preparation is exactly what our A&D partners deserve, and it’s a big reason we’re so excited about what she’ll bring to every collaboration.

A Deeper Commitment to the A&D Community

At Creative, our relationship with architects and interior designers has always been about more than furniture. It’s about collaboration — being a trusted resource throughout the life of a project, from early programming all the way through installation.

With Dabney joining Ryan and Aubrey, we’re expanding our capacity to do exactly that across Virginia. Whether you’re in Central Virginia, Coastal Virginia, or beyond, you’ll have a dedicated Creative partner who is ready to roll up their sleeves alongside you.
