Meet The Team!

Mark Whelan
Founder & CEO
Mark has always valued structure, clarity, and the beauty of things that work seamlessly. That same mindset shapes his approach to syrup—where quality, balance, and detail matter. The Sugar and Spice Syrup Company was born from a desire to create something honest yet elevated. Inspired by real ingredients and guided by a love of refinement, Mark crafts each syrup to feel as smooth and intentional as the systems he once built in finance. The result: an experience that’s both grounded and indulgent.

Yesmien Whelan
Owner and Creative Lead
Yesmien is the creative force behind the brand’s refined look and feel. As co-owner and creative lead, she brings her natural sense of style and quiet elegance to every detail—from the way a label sits on the bottle to the overall atmosphere of the brand. With an intuitive eye and a love for beauty in its simplest forms, Yesmien helps shape each syrup into more than just a product—it becomes an experience, warm and intentional from start to finish.
