Meet Lacey Cadieux-McLean — a 16-year IT project management veteran who left tech to build Rhubaia, a sustainable women’s clothing brand paired with an AI-powered wardrobe app.
In this episode, she explains why she designed clothes to biodegrade instead of clog landfills, how her 15-year-old son inspired the app’s gaming-style features, and what it’s really like fighting for a seat at the table in a male-dominated industry.
We get into the microplastics hiding in our closets, the surprising parallel between e-books and “digital clothing,” and her honest advice for any woman thinking about building something sustainable: just do it; the world needs more options.
A conversation about fashion, technology, and finding your place — even when no one saved you a seat.
