Meet the team
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Demel Bolden
Demel’s marketing journey began at just 15 years old, when he launched his own clothing brand in high school, built around his basketball abilities. Along the way, he realized that bringing people together was at the core of what he loved to do.
He took that passion to Old Dominion University, where he studied marketing and trained as a Training Specialist. There, he sharpened both the strategy behind a message and the skill of teaching and connecting with people, a combination that still shapes how Drvn creates. While in college, he started shooting portraits in 2019 and completed more than 900 sessions in his first five years.
After graduating, Demel found a new home in Indianapolis, Indiana. After a short stint with the NCAA National Office, he chose to stay in the Racing Capital of the World and go full throttle with building Drvn.
His sense of purpose runs deeper than his career. At just 2 years old, Demel survived a car accident when black ice sent the vehicle over a 30-foot cliff. The scar it left on his face is still with him today, a daily reminder that his story was never meant to end there. Understanding that gift of life shaped how he sees purpose, and it is the foundation of everything he builds.
Behind every project is a creator driven by integrity. Demel brings intention to every frame, a deep commitment to professionalism, and a standard of excellence that never stops growing. He believes storytelling shapes how we see one another, and that every person and brand has a legacy worth leaving. His vision is bigger than any single project: to help people live forever in the digital landscape through their stories, so the impact they make can inspire others and make the world a better place.
Anthony McClain
Senior Producer
Anthony’s journey began with producing films for his high school sports teams. He saw firsthand how a great story can grow something people love. That hands-on start still shapes how he approaches every project at Drvn.
He took that passion to Indiana University, where he earned a degree in Media Advertising with a minor in Marketing and remains a proud Hoosier. He went on to work at FOX 59, Big Ten Network, and also served as a marketing coordinator for nonprofits.
What makes Anthony special is his dedication to continuing to raise the bar. His production skill set powers Drvn’s biggest projects.
His sense of purpose runs deeper than his résumé. As the only Indiana native on the Drvn team, Anthony carries deep family values and a real pride in his home state. His passion for music and sports shows up in the energy, rhythm, and heart he brings to every shoot.
Anthony brings intention to every frame, strong leadership, and a standard that keeps growing.
Steven Williams II
Assistant Producer
Steven’s journey began on the football field at Butler University, where he played for the team while earning his bachelor’s degree in marketing. Even as a student-athlete, Steven edited his own highlights and found a love for creating.
Teamwork, discipline, and showing up for the people next to him comes second nature and makes everything he touches at Drvn stand out.
Before joining the crew, Steven interned with the Hamilton County Sports Authority, supporting event operations and content capture across a full slate of sporting events. It was the perfect place to learn how to move fast, stay ready, and capture the moments that matter when the game is on.
He also gives back through education, teaching entrepreneurship and innovation through the Upward Bound program. Helping young people see what’s possible sharpens his ability to explain ideas clearly and connect with people, a skill that carries straight into client work.
As a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., Steven carries a commitment to brotherhood, service, and lifting up the community around him.
Today, Steven he handles production and post-production for client campaigns. He brings a work ethic and a unique perspective to anything he touches.
