The TEAM
Nelson started The Seen unsure of where his vision would lead him, but knew he had to take action. He quickly realized he needed assistance in the areas he lacked. His team was created organically by some very talented, creative, driven individuals who were just as passionate about Detroit as he was. They stepped up to help Nelson deliver his vision to the world. Here they are...
“A strong team can take any crazy vision and turn it into reality.”
