Meet the Team

Our team is composed of graphic designers, science communicators, ecologists and education practitioners.

The diverse background of our team means we can help develop meaningful communications that resonate deeply with your target audiences while clearly and creatively communicating your most key messages. It is a combination our clients tell us is rare and is what sets us apart from other communication agencies. Check out our amazing team below.

We are curious by nature and driven to understand our clients and their objectives. If you want to know more about why we founded Fuse, check out Our Story to hear from four of our company leaders.
