From Spark to Studio

The Spark

Fox Valley Candle Studio began with a spark of inspiration—and a love for the simple joys that candles bring to daily life. For me, it started as a creative outlet, a way to unwind and find joy outside the demands of corporate cubicle work: an afternoon spent experimenting with waxes, wicks, and fragrances in my kitchen in Naperville. What began as a hobby soon grew into a passion for crafting candles that bring comfort, beauty, and connection to others.

The Goal

Every candle is hand-poured with care in small batches, ensuring that each one meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. From selecting the finest soy wax and non-toxic fragrances to choosing beautiful, elegant vessels, my goal is to create products that inspire you through the sense of smell as much as they visually enhance your home.

Why "Fox Valley"?

The name “Fox Valley” pays homage to the region I call home (the Fox River Valley in Northern Illinois)—a place where nearby natural beauty and a strong sense of community inspire everything I do. From the very beginning, I’ve been committed to creating candles that reflect this sense of place, blending timeless design with fragrances that evoke treasured memories and natural landscapes.

The Journey

As I’ve grown Fox Valley Candle Studio, I’ve been humbled by the support and encouragement of my customers, friends, and family. Your stories of how my candles have lifted your spirits and brightened your homes and special occasions fuel my passion every day. Thank you for being part of this journey and for letting me be part of yours.
