Let’s make the complicated, captivating.

We are masters at finding story in the complex. With a focus on climate science, health care, and collaborating on Indigenous-led projects, we use visual storytelling and interactive learning to deepen understanding. From graphic recording that enhances dialogue in meetings, to stunning explainer videos, to interactive infographics and augmented reality.

Graphic Recording & Facilitation

We customize graphic recording so it’s highly interactive for your audience, captures real-time feedback, and aligns seamlessly with your meeting’s facilitation. As specialists in Engagement Walls, we create interactive experiences that deepen understanding of your content. We’re also at the forefront of tech-driven engagement: we utilize a range of techniques, from AR and VR, to holograms, animations, and other digital tools to elevate graphic recording.

Explainer Videos

Our animations explain complex topics through memorable storytelling. Whether it’s a simple whiteboard video, a detailed explainer video, or more polished 2D graphics – we have an animation style for every project. We partner with our clients from initial concepting through script writing, storyboarding, animation, and editing.

Infographics

Infographics map out your concepts in a concise one-pager. Infographics can be made interactive with image or data pop ups. We’ve translated dense strategic plans into “visual executive summaries,” mapped out curriculums and training plans, designed journey maps of pathways through a system, and summarized research papers into visual reports.

Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality

Augmented reality (AR) is a tool for annotating graphic recordings with facts & data. People can also view large posters in a “virtual gallery walk,” or move through virtual environments using only their phones. Meetings can be hosted in virtual reality (VR) for people with or without a virtual reality headset. Graphic recording in VR is about creating an experience for people to move through and explore ideas in an immersive setting.

Virtual Meeting Design

With a background in stage management and event design, we are fluent in a range of virtual facilitation techniques. We’ve hosted small executive retreats, 300-person interactive sessions, and events with people experiencing hearing impairment.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of the great work you did for the Roundtable. It was a great success and I attribute a lot of that to you. Thank you for your keen ability to listen and capture what we were saying and your great organization and input leading up to the event. Everyone was blown away with your talent and skills and I am so grateful for your support all along the way and during the event.

We have engaged Fuselight for a number of events at IBM and no matter how we employ their artistry, they make a huge impact. Fuselight is a fantastic partner who takes the time to understand your audience and message, and then does their research to deliver the perfect experience. Their level of service is unmatched in the graphic facilitation world.

Allison Marentette, IBM Watson Talent

We were thrilled with the work Fuselight did for our event. Our meeting was energized with their on site graphic recordings and collaborative approach to the content. The value they added was delivered over and over in the pre-work leading up to the meeting and in real time as they captured the nuances of our discussions in effective and striking ways

Dr. William Cooper, Director of Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Tanya clearly articulated her team’s well-thought out recommendations and delivered on their promises. I appreciate Fuselight’s ability to creatively solve problems or complex issues that we face while immersed in a project. They deliver an excellent client service experience.
