The VA in Vaed

Vaed (Veronica Arroyo Environmental Designs), founded by Veronica Arroyo in June 2020, operates as a one-woman business, where each item is meticulously handcrafted to order by Veronica Arroyo herself. Born in Puerto Rico and raised on an organic farm in Jacksonville, Florida, Veronica's design style and mission were profoundly influenced by her upbringing. She began designing and sewing at the young age of 13.

During her time at Columbia College Chicago in 2018, Veronica discovered the harsh realities of the fashion industry. With her unique background, she was determined to ensure her impact on the industry was a positive one. Fast forward to 2020, amid the pandemic and after attending the Miami Fashion Institute, Veronica was committed to launching her own sustainable brand.
