Christopher Fuller

Currently based in LA, Christopher Fuller began his career as a graphic recorder 27 years ago, after receiving a degree in Visual Art from Rutgers College, when he volunteered to help "scribe" an Orlando, Florida community-wide "DesignShop" facilitated by the innovative and influential consulting company, MG Taylor Corporation in 1992. That initial meeting led to him becoming a member of the core MG Taylor staff, which helped to bring their unique brand of collaborative strategy and design workshops to large consulting firms all over the world through their partnership with Ernst & Young LLP and later, CapGemini Consulting's Accelerated Solutions Environment process. After leaving MG Taylor, Mr. Fuller founded his company, Griot's Eye Inc. (griotseye.com) in 1998 with a mission to use the power of graphics and rapid visualization to assist organizations in telling their stories. Mr. Fuller has since provided graphic facilitation services at strategy meetings across 5 continents for companies such as Google, The Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente, Stanford Health, Disney, Audi Motors (Berlin, Germany), UniCredit Bank (Turin, Italy), and NPR.
