Why We Built SEEN Outdoors

Hi! I’m Wes, Seen’s founder.  

I grew up loving the outdoors, but it always bothered me that outdoor gear and tools always seemed to be made for people who didn’t look like me. With this in mind, I set out to answer one question: how can I help accentuate people’s differences in a way that’s both cool and useful?

I’m a designer and maker who understands this firsthand. Using 3D printing, I began building  custom tools to help people with disabilities fully engage in activities they love, starting with fly fishing and music.

SEEN Outdoors is a reflection of this mission: to build practical, inclusive, and empowering  tools that help people get outside, create, and feel free.
