Meet Eddie

Born and raised in Arizona, Eddie brings over 15 years of professional painting experience and a true passion for craftsmanship to every project. As co-owner of Heightened Elevation Designs, Eddie leads with skill, integrity, and a deep commitment to delivering high-quality results that last.

Eddie has a sharp eye for clean lines, proper prep, and long-lasting finishes — and believes that painting is more than a job; it’s an art form that transforms how people feel in their space. Whether it’s an interior refresh or a full exterior repaint, he approaches every project with care, consistency, and pride.

Eddie is not only the muscle and precision behind the brush — he’s also the husband and business partner of founder Holly Cruz. Together, they make a well-balanced team, combining design vision with technical expertise to bring client spaces to life beautifully and efficiently.

He’s a proud father of two kids who love online gaming and a proud bonus dad to two incredible young adults serving in the U.S. military — a Marine and an Airman. Family is at the core of everything he does. Eddie is also very proud of his heritage and fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows him to connect with a wide range of clients and crew members with ease and respect.



When he’s not painting or collaborating on design projects with Holly, Eddie enjoys traveling, discovering new music, and spending quality time with his loved ones — including their two Golden Retrievers, Gus and Jake.

With a passion for the craft and a love for people, Eddie is all about doing great work and making every client feel at home.
