Jim Davis - Holdiay Home Creative
Jim Davis has worked as a floral designer for over thirty years, first specializing in custom Christmas interior installations and more recently spreading his work out into year-round designs. It all started when he was the producer for the Christmas Traditions festival in the historic district of St. Charles, Missouri. While producing the festival he created the design standard for the exterior decorations for the South Main Street area. It was his grandmother, who was a designer, that gave him his love of decorating. Her mantra was: "If it stands still, put a bow on it!”
In 2018 Jim started creating decor for every holiday and day of the year, and he also completed a re-branding process, changing his company name from "Christmas Jim Holiday Decor" to "Holiday Home Creative." He now creates unique holiday decor for homes, businesses, and special events for holidays such as Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, of course, Christmas, and for all seasons… In August of last year, he and his partner Scott moved the business out of their home and into a commercial studio and warehouse space. From that new state-of-the-art multi-camera studio, he presents twice-weekly free Facebook Livestream floral design tutorials. He also teaches in the paid Facebook group “Jim’s Creative Design VIP’s" and the recent “Christmas Creatives Workshop”, “The Wreath Rookies” and “The Bow Buddies.”
Jim is the host for The Working Women Survival Show’s weekly online program “Ultimate Girl’s Home Edition: Get Creative with Jim Davis”. He also appears in person at the show every year where he presents the Make-It and Take-It Seminars for the show. He has appeared at industry events around the country, as a guest designer and will appear at the Spring Floral Event - Hoedown Showdown - at General Wholesale in Louisana in March. Jim is the founder of the Creative Crafter’s Connection on Facebook and the immensely popular Livestream Paloozas, where he has produced many online events, which total over 200 hours of free design tutorial programming featuring some of the best designers in the industry.
You can learn more about Jim on his website www.holidayhomecreative.com where you can also purchase his original designs. Jim is constantly covered in glitter, a recovering and retired theatre producer, a proud pug dad, and lives in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.
