MEET THE MAKER/FOUNDER
Hello, I’m Swati
I’m the founder and creative soul behind The Creative Stories, a brand born from a desire to craft objects that bring joy, beauty, and intention into everyday life. My journey began over a decade ago as a Graphic/UI-UX designer in NYC, where I learned that thoughtful design has the power to connect people, spark creativity, and shape experiences.
Along the way, I earned two Master’s degrees—including one in Integrated Marketing from NYU—deepening my understanding of how storytelling, aesthetics, and functionality intersect. I’ve always been drawn to creating spaces and objects that feel meaningful, that invite pause, and that inspire mindful living.
It’s been three years since I turned this passion into The Creative Stories, bringing design, craft, and care into homes through handcrafted candles, and trays (Home Decor)—each piece created to spark joy and become part of your everyday life.
SPARK
The Creative Stories began with a simple idea: to create more than objects—to create experiences, memories, and mindful moments. Every candle, tray, and home décor piece is crafted to encourage creativity, sustainability, and reflection.
Our designs are versatile and intentional: trays can hold your favorite keepsakes, organize your desk, or serve as a centerpiece; candles illuminate moments of calm or celebration. Each piece is meant to be treasured, reused, and woven into your daily life.
TOUCH
Our work is hands-on at every step. From sourcing high-quality materials to blending scents, pouring candles, and casting trays in carefully chosen molds, every creation is shaped with care and intention.
We prioritize sustainability, durability, and timeless design. Each piece is made to uplift your space and your spirit, becoming a small but meaningful part of your everyday life.
ESSENCE
Life is made up of moments, and your surroundings can shape how you feel in those moments. At The Creative Stories, we focus on creating objects that enhance your space, spark joy, and encourage mindful living.
Every candle you light, every tray you display, every home décor piece you keep, becomes part of your story. Through our designs, we hope to inspire calm, creativity, and beauty—so that your home reflects the life you want to live, intentionally and joyfully.
