About
Hastings Creative is a Wilmington, Delaware–based design studio led by Eric Hastings, whose mission is to create spaces that bring people together and build community. With a background rooted in high-end residential and hospitality design, the studio now focuses on projects that spark connection—like bars, restaurants, cafés, nightclubs, social clubs, and community-centered spaces.
​
After more than eighteen years designing for prestigious firms in New York and Los Angeles—including Peter Marino Architect, Robert Couturier, and David Easton—Eric returned to his hometown of Wilmington with a vision: to use great design as a tool for local impact. Hastings Creative was founded in 2018 as an independent, multidisciplinary practice, blending thoughtful interiors with a deep sense of place and purpose.
​
Notable projects include the Montecito Club, the Presidential Cottage at the Biltmore Four Seasons in Santa Barbara, 33 Taps Sports Bar in Los Angeles, and the Explorer’s Lounge at the University and Whist Club in Wilmington.
​
Today, Hastings Creative is expanding its reach to include partnerships with nonprofits, grassroots organizations, and mission-driven entrepreneurs—designing spaces that don’t just look good, but do good.
OUTreach is a community initiative I founded to connect LGBTQ+ people and allies through volunteer work and social events in Wilmington, Delaware.
It’s built on the same values that guide my design work — connection, inclusion, and creating space for people to come together with purpose.
