Damian Creamer is a visionary education entrepreneur, founder, and CEO dedicated to transforming how students learn in a rapidly changing world. With a deep belief that education should serve the whole child—not just academic outcomes—Damian has spent his career building innovative, student-centered learning ecosystems that prioritize flexibility, mental well-being, and real-world readiness.
As the Founder and CEO of StrongMind, Damian leads the development of a next-generation learning platform designed to support K–12 online schools and homeschool families. Under his leadership, StrongMind has evolved beyond a traditional curriculum provider into a comprehensive learning ecosystem—integrating proprietary technology, AI-powered tools, and human-centered design to bridge the gap between students, educators, and families. His work is grounded in the belief that autonomy, competence, and connection are essential psychological nutrients for learning, and that technology—when designed ethically and intentionally—can amplify, not replace, human impact.
Damian is widely recognized for his forward-thinking perspective on the future of education, particularly at the intersection of artificial intelligence, learning science, and instructional design. He is a frequent speaker and panelist on topics including AI in education, digital learning transformation, and building scalable, mission-driven organizations. Known for his ability to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives, Damian brings a systems-level mindset to both product innovation and leadership.
Beyond strategy and technology, Damian is deeply committed to building strong cultures. He believes that great organizations are built on trust, curiosity, and shared purpose, and he prioritizes empowering teams to think boldly, act responsibly, and stay anchored to the mission. His leadership style blends visionary thinking with grounded execution, encouraging experimentation while maintaining a strong ethical compass.
Damian lives in Arizona with his wife, Noelle, and their family. Outside of work, he values lifelong learning and creating space for reflection—principles that continue to shape both his leadership and his approach to education.
StrongMind is redefining online learning with a rigorous, aligned and award-winning 6-12th grade digital curriculum delivered through a state-of-the-art online classroom/Learning Management System (LMS). Its curriculum engages students with relevant content delivered through interactive formats and immersive mediums that resonate with today’s digital native learners. StrongMind is the result of 15 years of research and development in the online learning industry. I founded it in 2001 as the exclusive technology and curriculum developer for Primavera Online High School. In this highly collaborative environment, StrongMind has regularly consulted with administrators, teachers, and students in an effort to continually improve online education. Over the years this collaboration has spurred the development of technology and curriculum that continually brings new levels of innovation to adolescent learners and has helped grow Primavera into the largest high school in Arizona and one of the most successful online high schools in the country.
