Robert Drive
Robert Drive is a creative production company devoted to bringing more adventure, happiness, and wellbeing to the world. The company stands behind the logo of a firefly because “when the world gets dark, fireflies stay bright, and that is what Robert Drive strives for everyday—brightening people’s lives” (T.A. Warmington, Amherst Tribune). That’s why Robert Drive donates 100% of their profit to organizations that advocate for the environment, and why they strive to make eco-friendly products that are durable, fashionable and creative.

While Robert Drive supports the creation of all sorts of products, it focuses mainly on fashion and film. In fact, the company has gained a great deal of notoriety and support amongst college students in the Amherst area for their unique blend of vintage fashion, independent film and environmental justice.

History and Corp0rate
There is little information about the history of the company. As far as we known, the company was founded in August of 2017 by Theodore Austin Warmington, a student at the University of Amherst, Massachusetts. Warmington named the company after the street his grandparents lived on when he was young because it was a “creative haven” where he “could escape, be free and go on adventures” (T.A. Warmington, Amherst Tribune).

With the support of their community, Robert Drive continues to grow and expand. Corey Camara, Warmington’s friend and fellow creator at Robert Drive, mentions “we just released several products in late 2017 and are expecting to release more in the spring of 2018 with some high-quality denim products being our end goal for 2019” (C. Camera, Amherst Tribune).

Warmington has the words “Dream and Work Hard” taped to his bedroom mirror. “It’s something I live by—pretty much the meat and bones to any inspirational quote, but its shorter and sweeter” (T.A. Warmington, Amherst Tribune).

Warmington dedicates much of his success to his mentor Q.R.Stuart, who has become instrumental in the designing processes.
