Gene Dinh, ICU nurse and founder of Scrubs and Steel
Who's pressing these

Hi, I'm Gene.

I'm an ICU nurse in Modesto, four years in. Everyone in my family is a nurse, and I aimed for critical care because I wanted the challenge.

As a murse, cutesy tees were never my style. I wanted something I could wear that shows my personality and still says RN. Dark humor is how we talk at work, so that's what I make.

I draw every design by hand, an artist helps with the final touches, and then I press each shirt myself. If you're in healthcare, this is for you.

How it gets made

From my sketch to your shirt

To Tube or Not to Tube started as my own sketch. I worked with our artist to draw it by hand, every line and every dot. No AI. Then I press it onto black cotton myself.

That's where I post new designs first, the pressing, and the nurses and RTs wearing it on shift. Say hi.
