THE CONDUIT STORY



I have always been drawn to creating.

Before music, before stages, before any career titles, I was a kid melting down broken crayons to make candles. I searched for scents that felt like me, even when I did not yet have the language for why.

For fifteen years, I worked in a science lab. I learned precision, consistency, formula, and patience. Alongside that, my life in music taught me tone, atmosphere, and how a single moment can change how a space feels.

When I returned to candle making, those two parts of my life came together. The science gave structure. The music gave shape. CONDUIT became a way to create something quiet, intentional, and meaningful.

Fragrance has the power to shift how we experience a moment. Our sense of smell lives in the same part of the brain where memory and emotion are held. A scent can soften us. It can bring us home to ourselves and to the people and moments we are connected to. It can remind us of who we love and who we are.

Each candle is hand-poured in small batches in my home in Minnesota, using a clean-burning, non-GMO soy wax and fragrance blends that are non-toxic, vegan, cruelty-free, and free from dyes, carcinogens, mutagens, parabens, and phthalates. The intention is simple: elevate the ambience of everyday living.

More than candles, CONDUIT is about connection. To self. To others. To the moments that stay with us.
