About

Hello, my name is Denis Ryzhkov

Whyolet is the brand of my products

"Why?" stands for reasoning, thinking, inventing

An inventor is a man who asks "Why?" of the universe
and lets nothing stand between the answer and his mind

Violet, according to Pantone, is unconventional, inventive,
color of individuality, experimentation, visionary thinking, pushing boundaries

The vast and limitless night sky is symbolic of what is possible

"Why?" and Violet, visualized as two violet question marks merged together,
became Whyolet symbol of infinity of what is possible
