She also clarified that this is a personal business she started from her home solely to share her designs with the world, not to offer career assistance to anyone.

“If you are looking for connections in acting or want to speak to producers or writers, I request you do not come. This is only for people who are interested in shopping, not for those seeking help with their careers,” Asma said. She concluded, “My job is to make clothes that you enjoy.”
