The idea of Secret Scrunch came to me on a work overnight when I went to a hotel gym. I just wanted to bring the essentials: room key, headphones and a hair tie. I thought, "wouldn’t it be nice to not have to bring a purse to the gym, or explore the town?"

The pandemic hit shortly after my bright idea, so I was left with lots of time on my hands. After a few months of talking to suppliers, perfecting all the details and telling myself to just do it, Secret Scrunch began September 2020 and it's been quite the journey since. I never imagined starting or owning my own business, but my love for entrepreneurship has grown so strong.
