When the pandemic hit, David Ochoa found himself at a crossroads. As a costume designer, he suddenly found himself without work and struggling to make ends meet. But instead of giving up, he decided to pivot and try his hand at a new craft - candle making.

From his Venice Beach bungalow, David began experimenting with various wax molds, drawing inspiration from sculptural artists and mid-century modern design. What he created was a series of unique, architecturally influenced candles that are bursting with personality.

Each of David's candles is one-of-a-kind, with their own distinct shape and size. Whether it's an '80s boom box, a hi-top sneaker, or the cult-favorite glow candle, every piece is as unique as the southern Californian vibes that inspired it.

But what really sets David's candles apart is the attention to detail. Each piece is carefully crafted using a soy blend wax, and features unusual hues like a one-of-a-kind splatter-paint technique. And with 30 ounces of wax in every candle, they're designed to be both decorative and long-lasting.

So if you're looking for a way to bring a little bit of California cool into your home, look no further than David's Bold Glow Candles. They're sure to bring a smile to your face, day after day.
