  • They say, “don’t quit your job after your first Burning Man,” but that’s exactly what Rob did. He left behind a successful career as a retail executive and went on a journey to reconnect with himself. It was during a plant ceremony that he gained clarity on a new life purpose: opening a gender-free shopping environment. Less than a year later, in 2018, he launched The Phluid Project, a queer-centric store in New York City, the first of its kind, blending fashion, community, and activism.

  • What do men's and women's top fragrances have in common? It comes down to 13 notes that are perfectly gender-fluid. This was one of the "a-ha!" moments for Scentbird while developing its very first fragrance line: Confessions of a Rebel, which launched in 2018. The team set out to push against outdated archetypes and invite raw, unfiltered self-expression that goes beyond the binary.
