Starting Small
In October 2020, Doug and Brant began their lifestyle brand as a simple stress relief project, creating products to use around their home. What started as a hobby quickly grew into something much bigger: the dream of starting a family.
From Kitchen to Business
As the brand evolved, so did our needs. We moved beyond making products that smelled good; they had to look good, too. This led to sourcing packaging, designing labels, creating artwork, and naming each product. Our home soon overflowed with candles and wax melts, taking over the kitchen, living room, guest room, and even storage spaces. It was clear—our business needed its own space.
Scaling Up
Relocating required a more organized approach to purchasing. We shifted from sticky notes to Excel spreadsheets, and eventually to digital notes on our phones, tracking orders, costs, and inventory levels. As we expanded our product line, keeping track of everything became increasingly complex.
Finding Solutions
By the end of our third year, the stress of managing it all became overwhelming. We searched for a platform to streamline our processes, but none met all our needs. We had to juggle multiple platforms while still relying on old habits like Post-it notes.
A New Beginning
In 2024, we realized that if we could dream it, we could create it. Today, we have a platform built specifically for small businesses focused on handmade items. We're always looking for new ways to streamline our processes, so stay tuned for more enhancements as we continue to grow.
