The Collective
The Collective is a group of friends, artists, designers, musicians, mechanics, and craftsman whose lifestyles and creative energy inspire the products we create. Through the things they make and the way they make them, through the places they go and their incessant curiosity about the world, The Collective gives us a wide range of experiences to craft from.

A gallery artist, a musician, a dreamer, and a doer, Seth is in the continual process of creating and forever on the hunt for harmony. He’s a man of art through and through—and yet he can wear any hat, even the practical-minded one required of running a business. A New Yorker by birth, he now resides in Portland, Oregon, where he works on the floor of Red Clouds Collective, as well as writing eerily beautiful songs as one-man-band Old Friend, roaming the Northwest wilderness far and wide, skating his friends’ backyard mini ramps, and rallying dirt bikes in the dust.

A jack of all trades who traveled the world as a professional snowboarder in his younger years—wandering from big mountains to snowed-in cities, always in search of unique new terrain to ride. After a lifetime’s worth of daring adventures, he has moved onto the next chapter of his life, now calling Portland, Oregon his home and dedicating his creative energy to Red Clouds Collective. When he has free time, he works on his vintage Triumph motorcycles, rides dirt bikes, picks his guitar, and fly fishes in the streams of the Northwest wilderness. |
