2019 - 2022

New Jersey based visual artist and designer, Brynissa "Nissy" Francis, has been honing her skills in design for the past several years. Originally a painter, Nissy blended her love for fashion illustrations with her artisitic abilities, bringing about the perfect marriage of her passions.

Inspired by individuality and those who dare to be different, Nissy has been able to create beautiful pieces while exploring new mediums. Taking pointers from the silhouettes of the early/late 2000's, along with hip hop influences, but adding a contemporary art is something that is rarely seen.
