In this episode, we speak with Alexis Armstrong, founder of Peggy Work Wear.

Alexis is a sedimentologist with a diverse background spanning gold mining, academia, and marine research. Before transitioning to academia, she worked as a field geologist, 3D modeler, and exploration geologist. As part of the International Ocean Discovery Program, she sailed on the Joides Resolution, completing over ten marine expeditions, including two to Antarctica.

She’s also the host of The Smoko Podcast, where she shares stories of women in non-traditional careers.

In this episode, Alexis discusses what inspired her to create a workwear company designed for women and gender-diverse individuals in trades—and the impact she hopes to make.
