Meet the Team

FOUNDER, CEO, & DESIGN DIRECTOR

Kristen has been a “wearer of many hats” throughout her whole career. As the leader of Planet B, you can find her making products in the studio, updating the website, designing a new beeswax wrap print, selling at markets, and much more! Kristen brings creativity into anything she tries - and she tries a LOT! From gardening and beekeeping, to sewing, painting, and woodwork, she spends her free time trying new hobbies and snuggling with her many pets…

CO-FOUNDER & WOODSHOP MANAGER

Seth has his PhD in Environmental Chemistry and lends his expertise not only in the woodshop, but also in formulating Planet B’s line of personal care products. Seth and Kristen met in college and have been inseparable ever since (they’re married). They tackle every new adventure together and never back down from a challenge! Seth enjoys hiking, kayaking, woodworking, and finding any way to be outside and/or build something.

PACKAGING SPECIALIST

Mary Ellen is Kristen’s mom and has been helping out with Planet B since the beginning. She is responsible for making sure all of our products are packaged neatly and are ready to be sold, as well as leading the charge to collect paper towel tubes and other otherwise landfill-bound items we upcycle. When she is not at the Planet B studio, she is teaching preschool or spending time with one of the many other members of her family.
