Tanya,
Hello :)

I've always just signed "MAKE" to mean "create." Thus you can sign MAKE-PERSON to mean "maker" which in context could be understood as meaning "the creator."

See: MAKE
See: PERSON

Note: Often during high speed signing of compounds movement of one or both of the signs is reduced.
So you might see CREATOR done using only one twisting movement prior to doing the PERSON sign.
