- DAO introduction
Dimension DAO is the Web3 arm of a 5 year old network and guild that brings together mentees and mentors from the fields of Architecture, Design and Making in order to share knowledge, perfect their art and expand possibilities.

This will not only result in thousands of persons learning and gaining access to this world but will also carry a knock on effect by opening up numerous creative outlets and creating alternative income channels.
Furthermore, with DimensionDAOs intention of creating an NFT marketplace there will be a significant levelling up for the industry as a whole due to streamlining of accessibility to design content and communication between the different parties.
