AMBER 
FUSARO.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR / STRATEGIST / DESIGNER

About me

I'm a passionate and innovative creative who brings bold ideas to life and has a blast while doing so. Throughout my career, I’ve obtained a wealth of experience in a variety of settings such as e-commerce, agencies, startups, non-profit, entertainment, and emerging tech. Demonstrating an adaptability that allows me to thrive in any environment where imagination meets execution. Once called the company’s “Swiss Army Knife", I offer a rare blend of creative strategy, visual storytelling, effective communication, and problem-solving agility, making me an indispensable team leader and trusted collaborator.

Moral of the story: I truly love what I do, and it shows.
"AMBER WAS ABLE TO ELEVATE OUR BRAND CREATIVE TO NEW HEIGHTS. SHE HAS A CERTAIN LEVEL OF TASTE AND SOPHISTICATION, AND IT SEEMS TO COME TO HER INNATELY! SHE'S ALSO A TEAM PLAYER AND WAS NEVER AFRAID TO ROLL UP HER SLEEVES AND WORK ON WHATEVER WAS NEEDED"
– RACHEL SIMMONS, SENIOR MANAGER @ TOMBOYX

RECENT Experience

2022–Present
CREATIVE DIRECTOR & CONSULTANT

BAEWOLF CREATIVE - FREELANCE

I have worked as Creative Director and/or script consultant for various clients including film/TV production companies, Grammy-winning music producers, stand-up comedians, screenwriters, restaurants, cannabis startups, etc. I've worked on a wide range of projects including company branding packages, social media campaigns, film/TV art direction, copy editing, web design direction, etc. 

2022
BRAIN TUMOR SURVIVOR

PROVIDENCE ST. VINCENT MEDICAL CENTER

The recent gap in my resume can be explained by the tangerine-sized brain tumor and months of radiation treatment that followed. Luckily, it was benign, surgery was a huge success, and I’m back to full health. 

My notable accomplishments include:

  • Demonstrating a level of bravery and resilience that even surprised myself. This helped me become even more adept at maintaining my composure and sense of humor in high-pressure situations.

  • Facing this near-death experience led to a 76% increase in personal growth and a shift in professional focus. Like wanting to use my talents in meaningful ways and working with a company I align with.

  • Obtaining a fresh outlook on life, embracing each moment with gratitude, and returning to my hometown of Portland.
