Meet CV Media & Signage 💙
we’ve grown again
There’s a lot to be said about the Fusion Signage team. We’re a hilarious, smart, and beautiful bunch (all aptly self-proclaimed). One of us loves Saladas too much, another has a cricket-themed curse. 🏏
The team has grown this past year, so we thought it was time for an updated meet the team.
Let us introduce ourselves. 💙
james
Co-Founder and Managing Director
I’m the guy who does business stuff and makes sure everyone else is doing business stuff too. I’m also somewhat of a master chef – whipping up treats with my eyes closed just because I can.
I have definitely fallen head-first into the roll of, “I cook woodfired pizza and smoke meat,” since becoming a Dad.
Showing Hallie new things is one of my favourite things. And my black belt in jiu-jitsu keeps the office crew in line. 😎
emily
Co-Founder and Mama
Our two-year-old Hallie (AKA Hallie-Bear) is my world. I'm in my best Mama era, with a perpetual mum bun always, and am absolutely loving it. In fact, we'll soon be meeting baby boy - due in just weeks as I'm writing this.
I’ve had many creative outlets over the years – one in particular being an event styling business, Arnold Events. I named it after a toy giraffe James bought me years ago (in case you were wondering). 🦒
will
Motion Graphics Designer
Oh hi there! I’m one of the designers/scallywags here at Fusion Signage.
What makes me happy? Rainy days, terrariums and camping.
Whether it’s in the kitchen, workshop, or art studio, you’ll find me busy working away on my next creative project.
My claim to fame? I happen to be the 12th IVF baby born in Queensland. Has that given me any advantage in life? Well, other than allowing me to be alive, nope!
I also have a family that kind of likes me most of the time.
elle
Motion Graphics Designer / Social Media Manager
You can generally catch me slapping the bass with my band, crocheting, or curating endless Spotfiy playlists.
I can eat ungodly amounts of pasta (something I’m proud of), and I love hitting new records at the gym.
My shoulder’s always popping out and if I’m not playing live with my band, you’ll find me front and center at a concert! 🎸
ashley
Customer Success and Experience Manager
I’ve worn many career hats in life so far. From frying fish at a local fish and chip shop, to being a paediatric nurse, then a brief stint of answering 000 calls. 🚑
Now I’m the Fusion Signage Customer Support and Success Manager, Korean seaweed addict and undefeated MMA cage fighting champ.
Bet you didn’t see that last one coming. 😏
avi
Customer Success and Experience Specialist
I'm a man of simple pleasures. I get my kicks from going on adventures with my little family, tinkering with electronics, and twiddling the ol' thumbs in a gaming session. 🎮
I'm a sucker for a veggie pizza (with a side a of garlic bread, obviously). What else, what else? Oh of course, my finest achievement. I could grow a full beard at 17. Go me. 😎
ben
Senior Software Engineer
I used to be a Software Engineer at Amazon. I met James in high school – during an IT class, actually. I was much better than him.
I spend my weekends being annihilated at Mario Cart thanks to my 4 year old son. I’ve become obsessed with gapless playback at Fusion Signage.
And I need someone to free me from a curse. I hate cricket, but can’t seem to stop watching it? 🏏
sean l
Senior Software Engineer
I’ve been in software engineering for 6 years. I used to work with Ben and Sean D at a different company (before we all realised that Fusion Signage was way cooler and started working here).
If I’m not writing code, you’ll find me spending time with my family, or braving the wilderness in a tent I put up all by myself!
I’ve done a bit of everything in my time – so if you need some mail delivered, a wound dressed, or a dungeon to dragon, I’m your guy!
sean d
Senior Software Engineer
Before Fusion Signage, I spent 14 years as a technical lead at two insurance companies. I spend my free time (willingly or unwillingly – i’m not sure anymore) volunteering as a cub scout leader.
And when I’m not teaching youngsters how to brave the wilderness like Bear Grylls, I’m losing at boardgames to my children.
Work wise, currently – I’m the guy that makes sure nothing ever breaks.
saeed
Senior Software Engineer
I’m a travelling man. If you look hard enough around Australia,
you definitely won't find me. I'm in Turkey, putting my own spin
on 'working from home' for the moment.
In my spare time I like to (firstly) sleep, and explore whatever city I'm in. Think: history, food, new places, activities. I'm not going to lie – it's a nice life.
gabi
Manager of Marketing
Hiya! I’m a bit of a busy body and sometimes my brain works too fast for me to speak like a normal person. On my days off – you’ll find me exercising, cooking way too much food for no real reason and running around with my puppa, Nala.
I used to own some pilates studios (where I met Em and James!) and in-between that and Fusion Signage – I worked as a graphic designer for a crypto company and cleaned 364 houses in a year.
amber
Head of Security
I am Dad’s number 1 fan.
Mum and Mini-Mum are okay too. But I hate everything else and will bark at it if it moves or looks like it may move.
Don’t tell anyone, but I’m actually a sweetheart.
But seriously – don’t move near me.
