A queer-owned candle and physical goods company that sells products in the shape of queer buildings.
My Role | Founder, Product + Brand Designer, Fabricator
In 2022, I came up with the idea to create soy candles in the shape of buildings that queer communities find to be comforting, safe, and joyful.

I learned how to digitally customize 3D prints, create silicone molds from those prints, and fully understand the candle-making process to make these products available.

After multiple iterations and surveys within the NYC queer community for which color and typography combinations best suited Dyke District, these were the winners:
Font: Phosphor Inline
Colors: Blues, Purples, & Pinks
Branding for Dyke District
Since the conception of Dyke District, and the success in candle sales, we have decided to explore other products, such as 3D printed planters, and providing the option for customized designs.
