The idea for the Denik brand came from a deep desire to show the world that artists can make an impact. As a group of college students at Utah State in 2011, they started designing notebooks and using the proceeds to build schools. They now have incredible customers and artists from across the globe who have joined in the effort. Five schools have been funded, as well as countless other initiatives to enhance the education experience of thousands of students in Mali, Guatemala, Laos, Ghana, and the US.
