To sign 'creative', start with both hands near the sides of your forehead in '4' handshapes, with your fingers extended and spread apart and palms facing each other. Move both hands upwards and outwards away from your head while wiggling your fingers. This motion represents ideas flowing out of your mind.
Point to the person, sign 'ARTIST', and then use the two-handed 'creative' sign with a bright facial expression to show her imaginative nature.
Sign 'WE NEED', then 'PROBLEM', 'SOLVE', and finish with 'CREATIVE' to emphasize the need for out-of-the-box thinking.
Sign 'I LOVE YOUR', then 'IDEA', followed by the 'creative' sign, wiggling your fingers outward to show the flow of good thoughts.

They are closely related but often signed slightly differently. 'Invent' or 'create' is frequently signed with just the dominant hand moving upward and outward from the forehead, sometimes without the wiggling motion. 'Creative' typically uses both hands with wiggling fingers to show an ongoing state of imagination.
While the two-handed version clearly emphasizes the ongoing trait of being 'creative,' you will sometimes see people use just their dominant hand in casual conversation to express a similar concept. However, using both hands is the standard way to describe someone or something as highly creative.
Your hands should start near your temples or the sides of your forehead, with your palms facing each other. This specific location is used because the concept directly relates to the mind, brainstorming, and thinking. Starting too low can confuse the sign with other vocabulary.
