Color Punch is a creative studio based in California and New York. The pair have over twenty years experience working as creative directors, graphic designers and mixed media artists. They bring long-standing expertise collaborating with concert promoters producing large scale music & arts festivals nationwide, as well as working with individual artists on their branding. They also support events and brands across many other industries.
With dynamic and complementary skill sets, Suz and Kari bring diverse capabilities and authentic artistic perspectives to every project. Their work is driven by a deep passion for turning our ideas into visual stories. They are highly creative, innovative thinkers, who take a holistic approach to communication and storytelling by means of a wide range of capabilities. They collaborate with our clients to develop creative strategies that leave a lasting, positive imprint on their brand.
Founders Suzannah Snell and Kari Petsche have been devoted to art and music from an early age. Suz attended the Savannah College of Art and Design and began working on the Visual Design team at major music festivals during her schooling. She later became a Creative Director at Superfly Presents for many years, producing some of the nation’s largest events including Outside Lands, Bonnaroo and Vegoose. Kari attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh where she studied design. After school she was hired as a designer and motion graphics animator at McFarlane Toys, and from there went on to be an Art Director at Dixon Schwabl Advertising. Kari then became part of the design team at Superfly where she and Suz worked closely for many years and developed a lasting friendship. After gaining as much experience as possible, honing their skill sets, and knowing as artists one must take risks in order to evolve, they founded Color Punch in 2016.
We recently got the opportunity to be interviewed about our most meaningful projects, our history and lives as working artists, and what drives our creative journey.
We have fifteen posters included in the Chase Center gallery and were invited to create an artist profile piece which was really fun to make! Thank you to the Chase Center, the Golden State Warriors, Another Planet Entertainment and Adobe for this incredible honor!
