I spent my early childhood in Germany and many of my formative years in Lower Alabama. Not only did I find myself in a place where I didn't speak the language, but I also didn't yet have the words to express that I felt more aligned with my brother than my twin sister.

By the age of four, I knew I was transgender and I quickly learned how important it is to find where you belong.

This brand started with candles, but the vision goes further. One day, I'd love to build a welcoming space where people can gather, connect, and feel like they belong (no awkward small talk required unless you're into that). Everything I create is rooted in uplifting others and giving back to the trans community in ways that actually make a difference.
