Hi, I’m Stephanie — the founder of MARIS LLC and the creator behind each hand-poured shell candle. What started as a small spark of inspiration by the sea has grown into a passion project that blends my love for nature, coastal living, and intentional design.

Living on an island has always made me feel connected to the ocean and its quiet, powerful beauty. Each shell I use is ethically sourced and thoughtfully chosen to celebrate the uniqueness of nature — no molds, no mass production. Just real shells, real wax, and real care.

When I created MARIS, I wanted to offer more than a candle. I wanted to give people a way to bring the calming energy of the coast into their homes — to pause, breathe, and enjoy something beautiful and grounding.

Thank you for being here and supporting handmade art. I hope these candles bring you as much peace and joy as they bring me when I create them.


With love,

Stephanie
