Kristen Pumphrey

Bio

Kristen Pumphrey is the founder and co-owner of California-based fragrance brand, P.F. Candle Co.

Now a 63-person company, P.F. Candle Co. started as a one-woman Etsy shop in 2008 out of Kristen’s second bedroom. As fragrance experts, Kristen and Tom (her husband and business partner) have scaled the business over the course of several years on their own with no formal business degree—DIY is at the core of everything they do.

Today, P.F. products are sold in thousands of stores worldwide and their three brick and mortar stores in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. Despite the company’s growth, P.F. Candle Co. still proudly makes their products in-house, pouring up to 3,500 candles a day all while modernizing the craft of candle making.
