About Us

Hi, I’m Alex – the maker behind Creative Corner Candles!

My journey as a creator began in 2006 when a friend introduced me to drawing. That spark quickly grew into a deep love for storytelling—soon I was writing stories inspired by my own illustrations. That passion for combining imagination and creativity has stuck with me ever since, and today it lives on in a different form: candles.

Fast forward to May 2022, I found myself stuck in the loop of daily life—wake up, go to work, come home, sleep, repeat. I was craving something more—a purpose, a creative outlet, something that felt like me again.

I’ve always loved candles—the cozy glow, the comforting scent, the atmosphere they create. But I could never fully enjoy them. Most store-bought candles triggered my sensitivities: headaches, sinus irritation, and an overall sense of discomfort. Still, I missed having that cozy moment a candle can bring.

And with my sister always lighting one in the house, the struggle became even more real. That’s when I decided—why not make my own?

After tons of research, trial and error (and yes, a few tears), I created Creative Corner Candles—a brand dedicated to crafting clean-burning, scent-rich candles that are gentle on sensitive noses like mine.

My candles aren’t just fragrances—they’re stories in wax form. Each one is inspired by a mood, a memory, or a moment, just like the drawings and stories I used to create. I pour all of that into every candle I make.

Using coconut soy wax and clean fragrance oils, every candle is hand-poured in small batches with care—eco-friendly, sensitive-nose approved, and made to bring intentional warmth into your space.

Whether you’re seeking calm, gifting someone special, or just creating a vibe for your day—thank you for supporting this small business and being part of the Creative Corner Candles story.

I hope you find a scent that speaks to you.
