Who Is Creekside Design? And, what I can do for your business?
Hi, my name is Michael Prout and this is my freelance creative company Creekside Design. I’ve been a graphic artist and website developer in Michiana for over 20 years now and have helped many different companies and organizations in Northern Indiana, Chicago, Southern Michigan, Indianapolis and surrounding cities with their successes. Clients include Disaster Recovery service providers, Retail Outlets, Restaurants, Pet Services, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Professional Services, and many more. I provide my clients with quality creative services but they also receive my constant attention to the promotion of their business, a long-lasting and trusted relationship, and relief knowing they can count on me for more than the project at hand.Throughout my career I have worked with and for successful design firms, website providers, commercial photographers and multimedia developers. My skills are diverse, creative, technical and results-oriented. I’m also not afraid of critique whether given or received. If I see or hear of something that could benefit a client’s success, I will politely let them know what, how and why they should consider it. More of that trusted relationship.When I am not working… and that is rare when you love what you do and who you do it for… you can find me watercolor painting, urban sketching or shaking hands with new friends and associates. I also hand out my clients cards too so make sure to keep me stocked.My wife and I own and operate several other businesses too. We have built a large equestrian facility together in Southern St. Joseph County, Indiana called Creekside Equicenter ( www.creeksideequicenter.com ) and a small corporate apparel and embroidery business called Creekside Embroidery ( www.creeksideembroidery.com ). My wife manages a barn of almost 30 horses and even more riding students while producing quality corporate apparel. Busy family but happy to meet so many fantastic people and help them with their projects and needs.Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. Now lets talk about you and how we can help each other.
