A little about me
Hello and welcome to my creative space! My name is Christopher Fuzi, I’m a seasoned Senior Graphic Designer, Photographer & Creative (among a few other things). I carry with me a strong passion for transforming concepts & ideas into visually compelling stories.
I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY. I visited the Bay Area in 1999 when I was just 14 years old. I instantly fell in love with the people, the area and the culture. I decided to make the pilgrimage in 2006 to continue my education and to explore building a life on the West Coast.
Nearly 15 years ago I gave the commencement speech to my graduating class and embarked on my journey as a designer; quite the journey it has been! I’ve freelanced, worked with start-ups, designed for a marketing & advertising agency, nonprofits, municipalities, hotels, shot wedding photography, rebranded franchise restaurants, and even designed ceramic forms for a beverageware company. Leveraging all my years of experience in the industry, in a variety of different creative roles, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a keen eye for design to every project I undertake.
Whether you're a startup looking to establish a strong visual identity or an established brand seeking a design refresh, no matter the creative-framework needed—I’m here to help lead people, designers and companies in solving a variety of creative problems and collectively come up with attractive solutions.
Thank you for your time and your interest! Please feel free to reach out if you’d like to collaborate and create something great, together!

Lately, when I’m not behind a monitor or camera, I’m probably in my garden growing food, succulents, flowers and a wide variety of other plants or I’m spending quality time with friends, family and animals (3 cats, 1 dog).
I wear my heart on my sleeve and am a passionate person. I enjoy talking epistemology and metaphysics. I love sharing ideas and learning from others. I believe there are valuable lessons in each failure and if you learned something from it, it can no longer be a failure. I believe in the age old saying “ You have 2 ears and 1 mouth; so you should listen twice as much as you talk.” I feel strongly about being a freethinker; which seems more important now than ever before. I believe in being humble, not resting on your laurels and never being blinded by hubris. I also fully think that being a designer/creative isn’t just a title or career, but is a lifestyle. I thrive on the challenge of bringing concepts to life and creating designs that resonate with audiences. Whether it's developing a brand identity, crafting engaging marketing materials, or simply designing a flyer, I love every aspect of the creative process.

Design is not only a collaborative process but it’s also a subjective one, therefore it’s important to build partnerships with clients, stakeholders, and fellow creatives. Effective communication is at the core of my approach not only in my work life but in my personal life, as well. I value open dialogue, honesty, feedback, and the power of teamwork in achieving design excellence. As they say, “more heads are better than one.” In a society that’s ever-evolving, it’s also important to remember so too is design. Therefore I always strive to stay abreast of not only the latest industry trends and emerging technologies but to also have my finger on the pulse of the current times.
With nearly 15 years in the industry I presently find myself eager and looking forward to the next challenge beyond the horizon.
