Made to be seen. Built to be known.

A new lens on commerce. A deeper approach to growth.

The team behind Seen + Known has built, scaled, and led at the forefront of modern commerce—inside global platforms like eBay, Levi Strauss, LVMH, and Deloitte — as well as at the helm of independent fashion and lifestyle brands. With collective experience spanning resale, retail, technology, and storytelling, they bring both operational rigor and cultural intuition to every engagement.

Their backgrounds include launching marketplace programs, shaping go-to-market strategies, and advising on brand evolution across fashion, beauty, and circular commerce. This isn’t theory—it’s what they’ve done. And now, through Seen + Known, that experience is applied to help others move with more clarity, more creativity, and more impact.
