I’m Bhryan…
..and I want to bring a little more nature, creativity, and celebration of the human experience into our everyday lives. Whether through ethically made products or wildlife-friendly garden designs, Bhaaloo is my way of fostering meaningful connections with each other and the natural world.
Bhaaloo Candle Co
is an expression of creation and commitment. Bhaaloo Candle Co is the kind of e-comm brand I would like to see in the world: mission driven, each decision made in consideration of people and the planet, and each product made with care.
From wax to wick, every element was designed by me. Form, fragrance, and art are all pulled from a desire to make the world a more scent-sational place.

Although there is a lot of learning to be had through self-guided study and hands on experience (I’m working on it!), an opportunity to fast-track my education in this field is an opportunity worth pursuing. So I have my sights set on two professional certification programs from two different universities. I’ll be posting more about those on the Bhaaloo Wildscapes YouTube channel as I get into the coursework.
What does “Bhaaloo” mean?
Bhaaloo (baloo, bhalu) is Hindi for “bear.”
Meet Bear. A labradoodle. A companion. A best friend.
We’ve been together 15 years, so you can imagine what this smelly old fart means to me. I am not sure where I would be or what I would be doing if he wasn’t in my life. Although the only words he cares for these days are “walk,” “treat,” and “squirrel,” I felt it was fitting to name this next part of my life in his honor.
Love you buddy.
