Stüssy Tschudin

Principal + Creative Dirctor at Forge Media + Design

Speaker

Born and raised in Switzerland, Stüssy (he/him) was a Swiss banker by day and a graffiti artist by night. His passion for the creative ultimately led him back to school and toward a career as a graphic designer. He’s a conceptual and visual thinker and brings innovative and strategic insight to every project he oversees at Forge. A solid commitment to human-centred design is at the core of his design philosophy, which he applies to clients such as Apple, Four Seasons Hotels, SickKids and CAMH.

His dedication to design and communication excellence led to Stüssy’s election to the Board of Directors of the Association of Registered Graphic Designers (RGD), where he served as President from 2014 to 2018. Stüssy is an Academician at the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA), where he currently serves as Vice-President of the General Council and board member of the RCA Trust.
