How It Started

 Throughout my entrepreneurial journey, I've always sought ways to innovate and make a difference. Starting with Rootastes in 2016, I revolutionized office lunches with healthy, locally-sourced meals, balancing my passion with the demands of a full-time venture. This endeavor not only reached over 400 companies but also earned me a spot in Forbes' NEXT 1000 in 2021.

Inspired by my desire to bring tranquility into the lives of busy professionals, I embarked on a new venture: Kandlery. In this latest chapter, I'm channeling my experiences and creativity into crafting hand-poured, eco-friendly candles. Each candle, with its unique Asian-inspired aromas and natural ingredients, is more than just a scent; it's a peaceful escape from the everyday hustle, a testament to my journey and a tribute to the spirit of innovation.
