Five to Nine Studio is an ode to the child who grew up and set some dreams aside so she could focus on another. For a long time, creativity took a back seat while life, work, and responsibility came first. That chapter remains, but time has opened up in quieter ways. This studio is my way of returning to what I once forgot--creative interests, everyday rituals, and the simple joy of creating with my hands.

It's inspired by the hours after the 9 to 5, when you finally come home, slow down, and make space for yourself. This is the time to light a candle, sit with your thoughts, and enter the hour.

Five to Nine Studio exists to make those extra hours feel warmer through small comforts and thoughtful pieces. Starting with scented candles, the studio will hopefully grow into home objects that are calm at their core, but not afraid to be fun, a little spicy, and quietly edgy.
