Morphology

creative + design

The meaning is directly derivable from 'creative' (able to invent or imagine new things) modifying 'design' (a planning or blueprint process), so a B1 learner who knows both words will infer it refers to imaginative or original design work or process. This adjective + noun composition follows a standard, cross-linguistically common compositional pattern and is therefore immediately comprehensible from its parts.

Etymology

Creative design paints a simple picture: creative means making 'original ideas' and design means the 'plan' or 'look' of something. So, creative design means turning new ideas into plans for useful, attractive things.
