Heins Creative

A Graphic Design, Illustration & Fine Art Studio Jim and Joe share creative direction, design and account management responsibilities.

Jim and Joe Heins were introduced to the visual arts early on as children of a high school art teacher and freelance sign painter. The influence eventually guided them to art school, and both graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art (Jim in 1979; Joe in 1982) with Portfolio Par Excellence honors (the graduating class’ best portfolio). Jim worked as a staff illustrator at a daily newspaper, designer for a Colorado design firm, freelance designer, and senior art director for an Albuquerque, New Mexico advertising agency before starting Heins Creative. Joe worked as a freelance designer/illustrator and publication designer for Montana State University Billings before joining Heins Creative. All artwork featured in our Store is original and one-of-a-kind, created exclusively by Jim and Joe Heins.

We are honored and humbled to have received one of six Outstanding Alumni Awards from the MSUB Foundation & Alumni on September 27. We were recognized with the 2025 Friend of MSU Billings Award. This award “honors non-alumni who have clearly demonstrated commitment to MSU Billings through distinguished service or leadership while influencing the growth and improvement of MSUB and inspiring others to support the university.”

Our connection with MSU Billings runs deep, beginning with our father Les Heins – a 1953 EMC education graduate and basketball Hall of Famer.

Thank you, MSUB Chancellor Stephani Hicswa and MSUB Foundation & Alumni CEO Krista Montague and your staff! We are privileged and fortunate to have enjoyed a relationship with the University and Foundation spanning nearly four decades.
