Off 9th is a candle studio exploring California through scent. Each candle begins with a place, from fog moving through cypress at Lands End to fig orchards in the Central Valley sun.

The name comes from the location of my home studio, just off 9th Avenue in San Mateo, where the brand began and where each candle is hand-poured.

I created Off 9th as a way to preserve places I’ve visited and returned to over the years. The collection brings those places together through fragrance, capturing the feeling of a place long after you've left it.
