Creekside Design

Michael Prout founded Creekside Design in Walkerton, Indiana, building a multi-media design and marketing shop that serves the greater South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, and Plymouth area. Clients range from disaster recovery service providers to retail outlets and restaurants, with independent filmmakers rounding out a client list that mixes commercial branding with production-focused graphics work.

The service list covers graphic design fundamentals such as logo design, business cards, letterheads, and brochures, alongside website development built to display well across platforms. Illustration work spans traditional to contemporary and modern styles, while social media and direct marketing efforts fold in search engine optimization. Audio/video communications round out the offering, with video services produced for both web and broadcast media. Brand development is treated as its own track, covering name exploration, logo design, and identity design. Creekside also collaborates with outside ad agencies, design firms, and in-house corporate art departments rather than working only as a standalone vendor.

For independent filmmakers, the studio creates authentic graphics intended for TV or film production, a niche that sits alongside its more conventional retail and restaurant client work. Clients retain ownership of everything Creekside is hired to design, and the company states there are no hidden fees in its billing. Combined with what the site describes as responsive customer service, this forms the basic terms under which the design, web, and video work gets delivered across the Michiana area.
