Growing up, I had it all mapped out. I was going to be a cop - serve my community, make a difference. Then college caught my attention. Maybe I'd become a D1 track athlete, chase scholarships, follow the traditional route to "success."

Late nights scrolling through Instagram changed everything. Entrepreneurs my age - some younger - building empires, making millions, living lives that demolished the traditional 9-to-5 narrative. These weren't just success stories. They were proof.

Proof that the path I'd always felt existed was real.

Each post was another entrepreneur saying, "You don't have to wait. You don't have to follow the predetermined path." They weren't just making money. They were making a statement.

Now, at 19, I'm not just watching. I'm building.

This brand is more than clothing. It's a manifesto for those who refuse to accept limitations. Every piece tells a story of choice, of rebellion against the ordinary.

I'm creating a community of young visionaries who understand that age is just a number when you're chasing your vision. Entrepreneurs, creators, rebels who choose to see differently.

VERNOVER is for those who scroll through success stories and think, "That could be me." For anyone brave enough to trust their instincts over conventional wisdom.

We're not selling clothes. We're selling a mindset. Permission to bet on yourself. Proof that your intuition is valid.

Every day, I'm proving that you can choose to see. That success isn't about following a predetermined path, but about having the courage to create your own.
