devisEr, typo criador, concebedor, inventor, descobridor

Explanation:
When they occur in connected speech, these three are virtual homophones, but each has its own distinctive spelling and meaning: a deviser is “one who devises, composes, creates, or makes up something”; a devisor (a legal term) is “someone who in a will leaves property”; a divisor (in arithmetic) is “the term by which the dividend is divided, thus producing the quotient.”

de·vise (d¹-vºz“) tr.v. de·vised, de·vis·ing, de·vis·es. 1. To form, plan, or arrange in the mind; design or contrive: devised a new system for handling mail orders. {American Heritage Dictionary}
THESAURUS FROM 'DEVISE'
3. (v.) To bring (a product or idea) into being:
• create • author • be the source of • bear • beget • brew • coin
• compose • concoct • contrive • give birth to • hatch • innovate
4. (v.) To invent or fabricate:

• cook up (colloquial) • create • dream up • hatch • hit upon • make up • think up • conceive
