About Adriana 
Born and raised in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Adriana—like so many Minnesotans—developed a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of the place she’s proud to call home.

While attending the University of Minnesota Duluth, Adriana discovered her passion and talent for photography, often drawing inspiration from the rugged, breathtaking landscapes along the Northern Shores of Lake Superior.

A few years after graduation, Adriana teamed up with her college roommate and fellow UMD alum, Hannah, to bring a shared dream to life: Lakehouse Candle Co.

With Hannah’s roots on Lake Minnetonka and Adriana’s connection to the adventurous shoreline of Lake Superior, the idea came naturally—an authentic, lake-loving candle brand inspired by the waters that shaped their lives.

Lakehouse Candle Co. specializes in hand-poured, wooden wick soy candles made with clean ingredients—products we feel confident using in our own homes. Each scent is designed to capture the nostalgia, comfort, and spirit of Minnesota lake living, so you can bring a little piece of the lake home with you
