It blows my mind to think how many professionals and businesspeople don't really fully grasp branding. They still think it's all about the cows and a sizzling hot iron used to distinguish cattle. While there is some similarity to that practice, branding spans far beyond the pastures and affects us all.
Dena Marie Productions, the new "brain tattoo" of fashion show production and marketing has managed to affect me. She is a street-smart practitioner who is driven, intuitive and devoted about every starving artist that crosses her path. As a visual artist I feel we should concentrate on advancing dialogue between brand and audience to create more loyal partnerships and this exactly what Dena has done.
- Ally Beran | Fashion Designer/Stylist
Dena is the most positive and energetic person that I know of. She's constantly passing this positive energy to students and infuses them with the same enthusiasm that she has about not only the world of fashion and art, but life in general. Dena has the respect of her peers, and students constantly seek her advice. She goes out of her way to help people as much as she can and rejoices in their career successes. I've learned so much from her in the past couple of years and would consider her one of my most cherished friends as well as a major collaborator in my future fashion design career.
- Gelareh | Fashion Designer
Dena is a powerful force in the rising stars of the San Francisco Bay Area fashion arena. Each production she touches is highly professional and gives aspiring fashion professionals the opportunity to expand their portfolios and hone their skills. She is a fantastic role model for young professionals and exudes a sharp, creative and dynamic breath of fresh air to the fashion industry. Ms. Dirc should be applauded for her efforts to the advancement of the creative and design community.
