As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community and a lifelong resident of Pittsburgh, I felt compelled to create something truly special for Pittsburgh Pride. I wanted to craft a design that would have a lasting impact, beyond just one year of celebration. My goal was to develop a graphic that people would be eager to share online and proudly wear to promote inclusivity in Pittsburgh not just during Pride month, but all year round.

With this in mind, I came up with the "Yinz Means All Yinz" graphic. I then went on to create a range of merchandise including t-shirts, printables, and stickers, all aimed at allowing Pittsburghers to proudly represent and support inclusivity in our city.

I'm delighted to share that the response has been incredible, with over 60 stickers and 15 t-shirts being sold during the month of June. This accomplishment means a great deal to me and reinforces my commitment to promoting inclusivity through my designs. I am incredibly proud of what I have achieved and am grateful for the support I have received.
