Brown chemical engineering alumna Julie Sygiel '09 is the co-founder of an intimate apparel startup company called Sexy Period. The patent-pending underwear made from leak resistant fabric are designed as a backup to prevent period spill disasters. Started in 2008 when Julie was a junior at Brown, Sexy Period has transformed from an entrepreneurship class brainchild into a full-fledged startup based in Providence. Founders spent two years designing their revolutionary line of glamorous, functional panties, and the Blossoming Beauty style features a watercolor floral print painted by a recent RISD graduate.
