Fuse Creative
Hi. I'm Jason...
I'm Jason Lindstrum, owner and talent behind Fuse Creative. Born after 10 years of hard labor in the agency world. The idea was simple: take my one man show on the road, cut out the middle man, start my own gig and give my clients the personal touch they deserve.
I offer a wide range of design services as shown in the work section. I have the capability to satisfy your individual needs at rates you can feel good about. I would be happy to provide a quote on any project you need help with. Just give me a call, or drop me an email, and I'll be in touch.
Skeptical about using a freelancer? Here are some of the benefits:
- The work delivered is the quality you would expect from an ad agency, but at a fraction
of the cost. - You get to work much more closely with your designer instead of relaying all project details through an account manager.
- From start to finish, the client is talking to the top creative designer on the job, so the project specifications don’t need to be relayed before action is taken.
- There are no separate account managers, senior creatives or junior designers, each with differing interpretations of the design brief.
- The client is hiring the person responsible for 100% of the design portfolio.
- Client phone calls go directly to the designer working on the project—not a sales person or account manager.
- Design revisions can frequently be made almost immediately after the request.
- Billing inquiries and delivery time frames can be clarified at the same time as specific
design discussions. - Working together is more fun for everyone.
