Founder Journey: I joined YEI’s candle making program in 10th grade. I didn’t plan on making a business but it was brought to my attention by Ms.T. YEI helped me overcome fears of speaking to strangers, being lazy and also helped me set up everything. I now have pitched in YEI competitions and won 5th and 4th place in different years. I have also sold at pop-up shops I now runs a home-based brand with my own setup.
