"Creationist" typically means someone who denies biological evolution as a a sole or prime mover behind the diversity of species.

I suppose one could be a "creationist" who thinks that God directly created the world, with a lot of different life forms already on it, and then from that point there was significant evolution of new species, but I don't think that particular combination of beliefs is very common, or what most people are talking about when they use the word "creationist".

One could certainly believe that the universe was a divine creation, and agree with modern biological beliefs, including biological evolution, but that definitely is not the common meaning of the word creationist.
