Hello there! I’m Julie and I handcraft every candle in my home studio in Seattle, Washington. I enjoy exploring different avenues of creating to express my thoughts and have found a passion for creating scents that capture places, moments and memories. I created Be Present Candle Co. to share my journey in being more present in life and finding gratitude in the quiet spaces of each day.

“Be present because everyday is not the same.”

What is the story behind all the ginkgo on the logo?

Ginkgo leaves are widely revered for their elegance and distinctive shapes. Their range of vibrant colors in the summer and then transitioning into fall have always amazed me and I stop each and every time to admire them. When the idea of starting this creative venture was in its early stages, I saw these magnificent leaves everywhere and knew it was meant to be the symbol for this creative leap.
