Working with Fusion is always an absolute pleasure and a true collaborative partnership. No matter what we throw at them, from logos and branding to reports and custom drawings for eLearning courses and marketing videos, Fusion always delivers beyond expectation. The team takes the time to truly understand our needs and works with us to develop design concepts, always transforming our seed of an idea into something far more than we could ever begin to imagine. I always look forward to involving Fusion in a project because I know that it will be fun, creative and executed to perfection.

Umar Shahzad RGD

Master of Design

Umar had joined our team to cover Sarah P’s second maternity leave, but we decided to keep him. The “small world” factor is so relevant here. He went to school with Sarah, but he met Brent while both served on the RGD Board. He currently sits on the Certification Board and Ethics Committee for RGD as well as reviewing student portfolios and judging student competitions. And now he’s part of our small team. We are so happy to have him. Umar was running his own small studio before Fusion, and he brings to the table a background rich in development of both print and digital solutions as well as photography (he dabbled in wedding and event photography for a couple of years). His way of fitting in seems to be matching outfits with Brent. This strategy goes mostly unnoticed as Brent is rarely in the office for anyone to see them side-by-side. Umar therefore takes the heavy responsibility of being the only man in the office. Not for the faint of heart, believe you me.

Ellen Foster Prov RGD

Master Builder

Ellen spends most of her time at Fusion deep in “Code Mode”, only looking away from her screen for snack breaks (cookies and juice boxes are a staple) or to send a hilarious (yet sometimes random and inappropriate) GIF to put a smile on all of our faces. She is the digital wizard on the team using her mad skills in HTML-CSS-PHP-CMS-Lego-Building-and-Dog-Cuddles to create fun interactive solutions that really work for our clients. But Don’t get it twisted, Ellen is so much more than creating digital masterpieces and solving IT problems one line of code at a time. She is a driven, creative, Swiss Army knife that is always ready to throw her hand up to help wherever it’s needed. Including getting old ladies across the street.

Jaimie Hallarn RGD

Design Choreographer

Jaimie is famous. Her personal work has been on the shelves of Chapters/Indigo. She’s THAT good! She’d never tell you that… but Brent would. Although seemingly reserved, she has just enough quirk, wit and weirdness to be a perfect fit at Fusion. As co-design lead with Sarah P, Jaimie uses all of her abilities to create design solutions for our clients. Her talent at the editorial aspect of design comes in handy on a daily basis, but that’s far from the end of her capabilities. Hand lettering, photography, witty puns, typography, dance, writing, music, art and the world at large all factor into Jaimie’s list of passions. Just don’t ask her where anything is on a map, geography is not her thing. She is a bit of a struggle monster when it comes to parking vehicles and eating out at restaurants, she’s got ALL the parking tickets and ALL the food allergies… Allergic to apples? Really…?

Sarah Prouse RGD

VP, Mama Bear

Sarah P is fondly referred to as the “Momma Bear” of the Fusion Fam. Not just because she keeps having babies, but because of her protective instinct, offering guidance and wisdom whenever we find ourselves in a creative pickle (whether we want it or not). And she certainly has a lot of “Fusion-centric” experience to pull from, being the most senior part of the team (only Brent has been here longer). As co-design lead with Jaimie, Sarah wears many hats (some even have animal ears on them), rounding up the team for brainstorming sessions and production pow-wow’s, developing rock solid creative, doing custom illustration, helping with project estimates and trying to manage Brent’s grasp on reality. Sarah pushes the limits on every project, and gives our clients pieces that truly stand out. Just like her!

Sarah Falzon

Admin Know-It-All

Sarah F is like the double sided tape that holds this whole crazy operation together. With Fusion being made up of mostly creatives (paperwork makes us feel sad inside), we would be left spinning without her administrative know-how. After doing her time in corporate culture, Sarah finds herself much more at home in our creative climate. Although only part-time, Sarah does more in three hours than Brent does in a week (shhhh… don’t tell him). Her booming laugh is hard to miss. It’s positively infectious and makes the rest of us LOLOLOL, too. She navigates her way through a plethora of paperwork with the greatest of ease and makes sure that our balance sheet always… well, balances. Invoices go out, payments come in and our suppliers are happily up-to-date. Sarah is a rare breed, entertaining and organized, all wrapped up in one hilarious package.

Brent Long RGD

Director of Client Happiness

As studio owner, Brent has a personal stake in everything that we do—successful projects, happy clients, win-win solutions, its what he’s all about. Brent leads with his strategic, creative and unique perspective, providing focus and direction, but most importantly support to his amazing team. He is an accredited Registered Graphic Designer (RGD) and currently sits on the RGD Board as Chair of Membership. He is also on the advisory committees for Georgian, Humber, and St. Lawrence Colleges’ Graphic Design Programs. He has spoken and been a panelist at many RGD events, and has been volunteering for RGD student portfolio reviews for almost 10 years. Although much of his time is spent conversing (both verbally and written), somehow he still manages to get things done. He may be slower than everyone else (he is pretty old), but he feels the need to kern everything!
