Another month means another boss babe + I am overjoyed to share this inspiring woman–Meet Alexandra.
Alexandra is the co-founder of Nudnik, the most incredible (in my humble opinion) eco-friendly children’s clothing line.
Let’s jump right in and meet this fierce boss babe.
Hi!
My name is Alexandra. Or Al. Or Alex.
I grew up a country girl north of Toronto, but have been living downtown now for way too many years than I care to share! I’m an identical twin, not only to my best friend, but the co-founder of my company, Nudnik! My sister Lindsay and I spent a collective 20+ years working for a waste management company my father cofounded and realized textile waste is a big global epidemic guys! It’s INSANE! So, we created a kids wear brand that partners with major manufacturers overseas to salvage their off-cuts (otherwise polluting the planet) and transform them into clothing and accessories that make an impact! Yay!
The startup life is a hustle for real, and although it takes up about 85% of life right now, I can still be spotted with my family, out with friends, at a concert, or a sports event, baking cupcakes, cuddling with my cat Bee, or binge watching anything True Crime!
Thank you Holly for the invite to be October’s Boss Babe! Can’t wait to get to know you all!

In true boss babe fashion, I asked Alexandra five questions:
I’m an early riser! There’s a cute little cafe attached to my condo, so typically my morning starts with a trip downstairs (usually still in PJs + gigantic sunglasses) to retrieve coffee, then back up to map out my day/assemble my daily checklist/attack Gmail.
Firstly, to absolutely stop picking myself apart! Then, to not be so afraid; think outside the box, dream ridiculously, own your differences and stay in guitar lessons longer than a week. -Oh, and focus.
My go to for inspiration/motivation/regeneration? Throw on a killer playlist and hit the streets! Preferably my beloved Queen West, but honestly, this city is oozing with street art, and hidden messages, and incredible shops and people watching … The perfect remedy to revisit any setback with a fresh perspective!
No one is you, and that is your superpower”. That’s gold right there.
Can I be two?! “Fly Girl” and “Mulled Wine”, one for the laid back Alex, and the other for my wilder alter-ego who escapes sometimes after a few glasses of wine and a dance floor 🤷🏻♀️
I am seriously loving these boss babe features! Alexandra is so inspiring + amazing, please do not forget to follow her on social!
