Wesllen Fuqua Becomes a Partner at Tincan

The creative and digital agency Tincan is expanding its partnership team. Wesllen Fuqua joined the existing partnership team—comprising Peter Niederberger, Raphael Willi, Baris Erdal, and Nina Stadelmann—at the end of August 2026. In his new role as a partner, Wesllen Fuqua will strengthen the agency’s presence in Zurich and further develop the strategic direction of the graphic design team.

An intensive year of preparation as a candidate

The partnership was preceded by what is known as a “candidate year,” during which Wesllen Fuqua gained insights into Tincan’s finances, strategy, and vision. The partnership has been official since the end of August. As a partner, he plans to focus particularly on building relationships with clients and agencies in the Zurich region and to help further solidify the agency’s decentralized organizational structure in day-to-day operations.

From the Feinheit Agency to Tincan

Wesllen Fuqua joined Tincan as Art Director in June 2023. Over the past three years, he has expanded the graphic design team and played a key role in shaping cross-team collaboration. Prior to that, the trained graphic designer worked at the Feinheit agency for seven years. While working, he earned his bachelor’s degree in film with a focus on animation from HSLU.

Focus on Processes, AI, and the Personal Touch

Fuqua himself describes his motivation as follows: «I’m very much looking forward to this new chapter at Tincan. It never ceases to amaze me how many different perspectives there are from which an agency can be viewed and developed. As a partner, I want to continuously optimize our work processes and ensure that we remain innovative when it comes to complex topics like AI, without losing sight of the personal and regional aspects.»

Nina Stadelmann, also a partner at Tincan, adds: «During his probationary year, Wes proved that he is the missing piece of the puzzle in our partner group. He complements us perfectly—not only through his expertise in expanding our visual disciplines, such as graphic and web design, but also through his strategic perspective on the Zurich market.»
