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.
