Kristen – The Queen of Quirk

Meet Kristen, the reigning queen of quirk and the mastermind behind Brain Candy Ink. Hailing from the land of sun and surf, she's made her mark in the Blue Ridge Mountains with her madcap vision. A Floridian by origin but a true Asheville resident at heart, Kristen's passion for art, sustainability, and electronic music festivals has conspired to give birth to Brain Candy Ink. Her motto? "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"

And she's not alone in this adventure. Meet her partner in crime, Taylor, the marketing maven and artist manager extraordinaire. Kristen's artistic genius is matched only by Taylor's business savvy and unwavering support.

Sustainable Sass
