Having spent thirty years working in the creative field, I built my career as a graphic designer, creating artwork both professionally and personally.
In 2016, however, I began to feel a growing conviction around the sheer volume of paper, cardboard, and glass passing through my hands and through the recycling bin.
As I learned more, I realized that recycling didn’t always mean what I believed it did. That question stayed with me: How could these materials be made beautiful again?
That summer, Shabreezylife was born from a simple but powerful belief: that every object, in its own way, carries the potential for beauty.
Since then, I have hand-poured hundreds of soy candles and gathered what has grown into nearly half a garage of reclaimed glass, each piece waiting for new purpose.
Relaunching in February 2026, Shabreezylife continues to evolve. Alongside hand-poured candles, the brand now features hand-painted gift bags, sustainably sourced, one-of-a-kind works of art designed to travel, be reused, and extend the life of beauty beyond a single moment.
