In this episode of Water From the Roc, we sit down with Christina Julian, owner of Scents by Design, a beloved local candle shop in Rochester, NY. Christina started her career in commercial banking, but after years of industry changes and a desire to pursue her passion, she took a leap of faith—launching her own candle business in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

From her early days at Ithaca College to building a thriving community-focused brand, Christina shares the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned along the way. Plus, we dive into how she creates custom fragrances and what makes her candles truly unique.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship, resilience, and following your dreams!
