The founder
Founded by Christina Martin.
At the heart of Pretty Vicious is a simple philosophy:
“Be intentional. Be unforgettable. And never water yourself down to make other people comfortable.”
Christina Martin is the founder and creative force behind Pretty Vicious Sauce Company — a brand built on bold flavor, quiet confidence, and a little beautifully controlled chaos.
An executive chef with extensive experience in hospitality leadership, Christina has spent her life creating memorable experiences through food, connection, and unapologetic authenticity. Her approach to flavor mirrors her approach to life: layered, intentional, a little rebellious, and never forgettable.
Pretty Vicious was born from the belief that great food should leave an impression. Not just heat for the sake of heat, but balanced flavor with attitude — refined enough for the food lover, dangerous enough to keep things interesting.
Known for her sharp wit, fearless creativity, and ability to lead with both strength and compassion, Christina has built a career around elevating the ordinary into something unforgettable. Whether she's leading a kitchen, developing sauces, or building a brand from the ground up, she brings the same energy to everything she touches: bold restraint with a savage finish.
