Meet Anna

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve always been rooted in the rhythm of the rain, the hush of the trees, and the grounding energy of nature. I’m a loving wife and proud mom, and when I’m not cheering on my kids at the BMX track, you’ll usually find me recharging outdoors or tucked away with a candle flickering beside me.

Candles have become my ritual — a way to let go of the day, breathe deep, and invite peace back into my space. I’ve always been drawn to the colors, scents, and energies of fall, with a special love for the cozy, the eerie, and the beautifully haunting. Horror movies, crisp air, and moody skies? That’s my happy place.

Ember Shade grew from all of that — a passion for crafting light in the darkness, and a belief that simple rituals can transform everyday moments into something meaningful.
