The New Testament Greek text always has creation by God the father and through Jesus the son of the father, the father being Jehovah. A classic example of it being done through the son is in John 1:10. No where in the NT does the Greek text say it was created by Jesus as the KJ translators and some others have incorrectly translated the text. In Psalms 104 things created are listed and at verse 30 we read, "You (referring to Jehovah) send forth your spirit, they are created." Jesus, remember, came forth also to be not created, but born from the Holy Spirit, so before physical birth he was of the Holy Spirit. It's somewhat of a mystery as to how it all works, but we do get an idea through these texts how the trinity (which by the way is not three gods) functioned in creation. You might say the Holy Spirit is that dimension/member of the trinity which is sent throughout the universe to do the will of the father Jehovah in making things come to be and happen. Also the spirit, having been sent by the father, imo, explains the "we" mystery in creation.
