Vyshyvanyuk attended the Interregional Center of Vocational and Technical Education of Artistic Modeling and Design in Lviv from 1993 to 1995. In 1999 he moved to Athens, Greece and initially worked for Muzuri Shop before being hired by the fashion design firm Maurizio Mykonos in January 2001. He completed a course in pattern making at the Veloudakis Fashion School in Athens before returning to Lviv in 2011. He opened his own shop, specializing in bridal gowns, in 2013.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, Vyshyvanyuk and his wife Olena sent their three daughters to Poland to live with their grandparents there. They turned their business over to fabricating tactical vests for soldiers and provided short-term shelter and meals to refugees. Their children returned to Lviv as the initial attacks in western cities diminished, but made the decision to leave as a family when missiles again began battering their city.

Though the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service's "United for Ukraine" program, the Vyshyvanyuks made contact with Regions Bank attorney Ed Cotter who sponsored their 2-year resettlement in Birmingham.
