Our Process
Our Process
Laurence Roberts is a passionate, innovative, award-winning designer
and filmmaker. A co-founder of Forge Media + Design (Toronto), where he functioned as a Principal
and Creative Director for
the Digital Experiences
team for over 20 years.
It was there that he discovered his passion
for donor recognition work.
About the Founder
From his first donor wall project for the Children’s Hospital
of Philadelphia to his most recent projects for Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital and Stella’s Place, Laurence found the layered complexities, humanity and storytelling opportunities presented by donor recognition projects exciting.
Through his experiences in creating long-lasting recognition systems that performed as well as they looked, Laurence also saw where projects often faltered – communication failed, lack of planning, and uninformed choices lead to less than optimal results. He saw an opportunity to help foundations and organizations achieve the best possible results with recognition that truly connects individuals, creating a better understanding for the reasons behind the donations.
Fuse was born to be your guide when tasked with creating
or updating our donor recognition. The goal: to advance the industry norms, pushing boundaries and delivering projects that embody gratitude, while driving philanthropy.
