AMA: Helen Rice, Founder / Creative Director at Fuzzco
almost 6 years ago from Helen Rice, Creative Director at Fuzzco
Hello! I'm Helen Rice, founder and creative director at Fuzzco, a creative agency in Charleston, SC and Portland, OR.
Fuzzco is the only real job I've ever had. I taught myself the Adobe Creative Suite (including Flash) when I was working as an artist back in 2003. I think I spent as much time designing postcards and working on my website as I did painting. Long story short my then boyfriend (now husband and business partner) and I decided to combine forces to start Fuzzco in 2005. We had no idea what we were doing.
We figured things out along the way. You can see some of our work here, including our recently launched photography portfolio.
In 2013, we started Pretend Store which has come to house products and brands that we create in house. My favorite product right now is E.d'E. Black - one of our unisex perfumes. We created the scent with MCMC Fragrances in Brooklyn and designed the brand, brand story and packaging. We just had our first pop-up for the store which was a blast.
In 2015, we opened our office in Portland.
During the 11.5 years we've been in business we've moved offices seven times. You can see a few of the renovations we worked on here.
I'll start answering questions at 11:00am ET (6/30). Ask me anything!
