Can you be a scientist and an artist? Our society seems to put those two occupations at odds with each other. The guest on today’s episode shatters that dichotomy.
In today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sasha, a multi-passionate creative who has had a successful career in science, and now has become a fashion entrepreneur. Her outerwear brand, SteMargScot, embodies the spirit of creativity, vibrancy, and sustainability.
Discover how sustainability and fashion can harmoniously merge, and how the skills and experiences of being a scientist supports Sasha as she found her own brand with curiosity and purpose.

About the Sasha:
SteMargScot is founded by Sasha Jardine, a self described Caribbean-born, colour-fanatic, winter-intolerant, science nerd. Frustrated by the ubiquitous winter coat uniform in stores (especially for men), she found it hard not to notice that outerwear is mostly polyester. Even harder was to be complacent when polyester production increased by 4 million tonnes in 2021, making it the most widely produced fibre. She dreamed about outerwear that challenged status-quo materials, colours, cis gender-designations, and styles. Sasha lives in Toronto and is a science educator, researcher, and published author in drug discovery.
