About Christopher By David

To be completely honest, I never expected to be where I am today with my business. I started making candles in 2018 as a hobby while I was studying for my biology degree at UCLA. I’ve always had a fondness toward candles as I believe they can turn an empty space into an enjoyable experience. After a few successful attempts, I added my own twist to things and standardized my process. Exclusively incorporating natural, non-GMO, vegan soy wax without any additives was essential. Since candles melt and release into the air, having a clean fuel source is important for a healthy lifestyle. I made a few small batches of candles and thought I could make a profit by selling them on Etsy. To my surprise, I sold out within the first week! After that, I started to take things seriously and realized my potential. Christopher By David was born out of the combination of my middle and first names. Prior to this, I never had much use for my middle name so the decision to honor it through my business came naturally. I researched local suppliers, developed custom packaging and created my own website and Instagram account to promote my work and share it with the world. I got into contact with wedding planners and event designers and, through them, curated candles for decoration and party favors as a reputable vendor. Soon, my network of clients exploded to all corners of the country!Read their story
