My creative journey began with exploring environmental themes in fine art and evolved into fashion, a medium that’s always inspired me. In 2024, I started designing wildlife graphics and explored printing methods, leading to the launch of VinNY Label in June 2024.
North American bird populations have dropped by 3 billion in 50 years. Birds are vital to our ecosystems, and they need advocates. VinNY is a New York-based streetwear brand built on the belief that fashion can reconnect us with nature. Bold bird-inspired graphics use vivid colors and patterns to spark change. Ten percent of profits support groups like the NYC Bird Alliance to protect urban wildlife.

Much of my bird-related work, along with VinNY’s graphics, draws inspiration from Audubon’s intricate illustrations of birds in their natural habitats. By leaving these settings behind and arranging the birds in symmetrical, geometric patterns on VinNY shirts, I aim to highlight their vital role in our ecosystems and celebrate their beauty as symbols of freedom and self expression.
