Laynee brings her flair for design and marketing to the table. Together with Christine, their collaboration on design helps elevate the brand’s presence both locally and online. Their touch can be seen in the shop’s beautifully designed labels, packaging, and promotional materials. She also manages the shop’s social media accounts, engaging with customers and sharing the stories behind their favorite candles.

Together, Christine, Noah, and Laynee have created a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. The shop’s rustic aesthetic and handcrafted approach pay homage to Truckee’s heritage, while their modern marketing strategies and quality products appeal to contemporary consumers.
