Collaborating with Skinny Dip Candles

In 2020, I had the immense honor of collaborating with Lindsey Keeley, the owner of Skinny Dip Candles. Our partnership began serendipitously when I created a pet portrait illustration of her beloved dog, and she happened to be seeking a rebrand for her company at the same time. This chance encounter led to one of the most meaningful collaborations of my career.

About Skinny Dip Candles

Skinny Dip Candles are unique 4-in-1 products that function as a candle, lotion, massage oil, and body balm. They provide a simple, tangible way to prioritize self-care and foster meaningful romantic connections. The candles are crafted from a soy wax base blended with skin-nourishing oils and butters, burning at a cozy 102°F, allowing the wax to be poured directly onto the skin as a lotion or massage oil. This multi-sensory experience enhances personal wellness and intimacy through aromatherapeutic qualities, skin-nourishing properties, and the physical and emotional benefits of massage.

Lindsey envisioned her rebranding to offer a moment of self-care, an opportunity to embrace our unique and beautiful selves, and a celebration of community working toward joy. Her goals deeply resonated with me, and together we embarked on a creative journey to bring this vision to life.
