O'Neill | BelleCreeke

What is your creative need?

My name is Dan O’Neill, I am the founder and principal of BelleCreeke, LLC. I hold a Master of Architecture degree from Arizona State University and a B.S. in Business Administration from The University of Montana. I bring a design–build approach to every project, integrating creative vision with practical execution. Through BelleCreeke, I have managed projects from initial concept to final construction while continuing to advance my career within the architecture profession.

This site is an introduction and invitation to start a dialogue, explore career opportunities, and build a professional relationship. Look around and review a selection of graduate studio work, design explorations, and past built projects. These reflect my approach to the built environment and identity as a designer. The range of techniques, methodologies, and software tools featured represent a commitment to craft, adaptability, and design communication.

Part Urbanist, Part Environmentalist

My background is rooted in landscape design, construction, and respect for the natural environment. My design process blends logic and intuition, allowing me to respond thoughtfully to site, climate, and regional context while crafting spaces that feel both functional and harmonious.

With experience in every phase of construction, I bring a rare and sought after perspective to architecture. My path has been shaped not only by drawing and modeling, but by doing. I’ve imagined, designed, fabricated, assembled, grown, hauled, cut, painted, updated, led, learned, and built my way towards becoming a professional Architect. Each step has deepened my understanding of how things come together and why they matter.
