"Detroit has a unique creative vibe," says Stefan Sonnenfeld, president of Deluxe Creative Services Group and founder of Company 3. "I have really been inspired by the work coming from Beast and Method in the Motor City and am excited to add our world class color services on site to help our clients maximize creativity and bring their ideas to life in the best light."
