MEET THE FOUNDER 

Judith has always been crafty since childhood making her own, when they couldn't afford to buy. Continuing into her adult years she's built her own floating shelves, DIY coffee tables and reupholstered anything she could get her hands on, and now candle-making. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and now residing in Queens with her husband, Peter and their 5 year-old Frenchie, Brooklyn.

The word Wanderlust means "a strong desire to travel" and ever since she was little, her grandmother instilled this dream of “going out to see the world, before it’s too late” every chance she had. So it was only natural when her passion for travel grew.

With a few countries under her belt, the idea of making travel inspired candles came to her after a trip to Costa Rica. She wanted to share her memories with family & friends, but wanted to show more than just photos and stories. And that’s when the idea of candle making came into play and her first candle line was created, The Destination Collection.
