About the Founder

I grew up in a house that never felt calm—chaotic, uncertain, never a sanctuary. From an early age I longed for simplicity, peace, and beauty in the smallest things. I discovered how rituals—tidy spaces, a warm meal, the soft glow of light, a comforting scent—could shift everything and make life feel more bearable.

That pursuit of sanctuary shaped my path. I went into real estate to help others find homes, bought my first at 18, and even owned a bakery where I found joy in creating small comforts. Candles gave me that same purpose: simple creations with the power to fill a room with calm, warmth, and memory.

When I couldn’t find candles that matched my values—clean-burning, lasting, and beautifully designed—I began making my own. What started as a hobby and gift-giving has grown into Bean Candle Co. candles that serve the space between wellness and design, crafted to be as healthy as they are elegant.

The name “BEAN” reflects the heart of that philosophy—Breathe. Ease. Awaken. Nurture.—a reminder that calm begins with small rituals, and every candle is created with that intention.

Hand-poured in Sewickley, PA(suburb of Pittsburgh) each candle reflects the balance of grit and grace, creating the sanctuary I once longed for—and sharing it with others who crave the same.

Warm regards,
