Our Story

Hi, I'm Nik! I'm a first generation Greek American born and raised in Charlotte, NC. I'm a Type One Diabetic (shoutout to my TD1 buddies!) and have been for 25 years. I started candle making as a hobby and have loved sharing my creations with family and friends- and now all of you. 

I've always appreciated the way a good smelling candle can set the vibe in a room and make or break the ambiance. And I've always loved discovering new fragrances- always testing new colognes, beard oils, you name it. Making my own candles merged those two into what started as a hobby just for myself and has led me to creating Kefi Co. 

Kefi (κέφι in Greek) translates to the spirit of joy, passion, and enthusiasm. 

It’s that overpowering emotion you have when you completely let go in the moment, release inhibitions, and are fully present in life.

The true meaning of the word cannot be described perfectly in English, it must be experienced - but when you do, you'll know it. 

We can't wait for our products to bring a little kefi to your life.
