As someone who’s always been passionate about design and branding, I’ve spent years perfecting how to bring stories to life through visuals. But there’s something about creating with my hands that has been incredibly fulfilling, and lately, I’ve found a beautiful way to combine my love for branding with one of my favorite hobbies: candle making. 🌿💫
I’ve always believed that good design has the power to transform the mundane into something special. Whether it’s web design, logos, or the colors that shape our daily lives, design connects us to emotions and experiences. But what happens when the design process becomes something tactile, something I can feel and smell as I create it? That’s where candle making comes in.

The Connection Between Branding and Candle Making 🖌️🕯️
Candles, to me, are more than just a product—they’re a way to tell a story. Each candle I make is infused with my personal touch, much like how I approach branding for clients. In branding, it’s all about creating a visual identity that resonates with an audience, while candle making is about creating a sensory experience. Both, however, are about evoking emotion and setting a tone. 🌸✨
I find that my candle making process reflects my approach to design in so many ways. For instance, just as I carefully select colors, fonts, and layouts for a brand, I choose scents and colors for my candles with the same attention to detail. The warm, earthy tones I love in branding also appear in my candle jars, creating a calming and cohesive aesthetic. It’s a natural extension of my passion for crafting a visual identity that speaks to people, just this time through scent and light. 🌿🖤
Crafting a Personal Touch 🌟
One of the most rewarding things about making candles is the personal connection it brings. I get to experiment with different scents that reflect my own style and vision—whether it’s a soothing lavender blend or a cozy vanilla cinnamon mix. And just like when I work on a brand’s logo or visual identity, there’s a sense of satisfaction in seeing something come together from start to finish.
The same principles I use to help clients build a brand—storytelling, creating a mood, and adding personal touches—are applied when I create each candle. It’s a way for me to showcase my brand’s essence in a way that’s tangible and comforting. 🌟🕯️
Tying It All Together: Branding Through Candle Making 🧡✨
As I continue to develop both my branding work and my candle creations, I’m realizing more and more how closely they’re intertwined. Each candle is a reminder of the importance of infusing passion, care, and authenticity into everything I do—whether it’s designing a logo for a small business or creating a candle to fill a home with warmth.
In a world full of digital noise, there’s something so grounding about taking a step back and working with my hands to create something that reflects my personal brand. Candle making, in all its simplicity, has become an extension of who I am—someone who values craftsmanship, creativity, and the quiet beauty of things made with love. 💛🕯️
So, the next time I light one of my candles, I’ll be reminded of the journey I’ve taken—from the world of branding to the art of candle making—and how, in the end, they’re both about creating something that resonates with others in a meaningful way.

BTW – If you live in my area, you can purchase these beauties in person. Ironically, I do not sell candles online. I personally don’t think shipping and candles mix… :S Prove me wrong? Send me an email 🙂
