WHY WE STARTED
>> D Y F R E N T >> WAS FOUNDED IN NY BY TWO COLLEGE SOPHOMORES IN 2018 WHO'S PRIMARY OBJECTIVE WAS TO BE AS CREATIVE AS POSSIBLE. AFTER DEVELOPING A ROBUST SKILLSET AND NETWORK THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP WAS TO FORM A CONGLOMERATE TO PROVIDE CREATIVE VALUE TO SOCIETY.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
WE BELIEVE ART IS THE WAY FORWARD TO CREATE A BEAUTIFUL WORLD. ART IS HUMAN EXPRESSION AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE AUTOMATED AND WILL NEVER BE OBSOLETE. ART ON A GRAND SCALE REQUIRES ECONOMIC SCALE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, IT GIVES PEOPLE WHAT THEY NEED >> A SENSE OF CONTRIBUTION. HISTORICALLY WE HAVE LAYED DOWN ARMS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF ART. WHAT IS MORE RESPECTED IN A CULTURE THAN ITS ART?
OUR OBJECTIVE
CULTURE IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF SOCIETY. HOW DO YOU SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION INTO THE NEXT TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION? YOU MUST ERADICATE IGNORANCE THROUGH EDUCATION AND HAVE A CULTURE CONDUCIVE TO POSITIVE CHANGE AND PROGRESS. VIA ART, FASHION, AND DESIGN >> D Y F R E N T >> WILL BE A LEADER IN THIS SPACE FOR YEARS TO COME.
