As the boss gal behind, Fairwinds Candle Company, Tenisha is the creator, head salesperson, web designer, product photographer, etc. She wears all the hats when it comes to her business. We wanted to capture all the daily tasks that she is in charge of– including, but not limited to, packing and shipping orders, product photos, inventory replenishment, and backend website maintenance.
Tenisha’s product inspiration
Tenisha’s candle scents are inspired by her memories of her time in the military into scents that her clients can enjoy in their homes. Her candle studio is based out of her downtown Baltimore home in her tiny little basement…man, I was thoroughly impressed that she produces all her inventory in that space!
Wholesale & Retail Product Sales
You can find Tenisha’s candles and scent products in boutique retail stores around the country, on her website, and at different in-person markets around the D.C., Annapolis, & Baltimore area.
