Ramina Ashfaque transitioned from nursing to entrepreneurship after struggling to find comfortable and stylish scrubs during her time in healthcare. In an interview with Local 10, she discussed how her dissatisfaction with existing scrubs led her to design her own.
“I did pageants in my 20s and became a nurse, only to realize I didn’t like any scrubs available, so I decided to create my own,” she stated, aiming for designs that are “fitted” and “more girly” compared to traditional options.
Despite facing challenges at work due to her side business, including uncomfortable discussions with superiors, Ashfaque found success. “I bet pretty much all my savings on this venture,” she note, working overtime during COVID to fund her dream.
