About Me

Hi, I’m Valeria, the maker behind Shire Studio.

Shire Studio started with a simple dream: creating beautiful, handcrafted pieces that make everyday moments feel a little more special. Every candle, soap, bath product, piece of jewelry, and handmade creation is made with care, creativity, and a lot of love.

What began as a creative outlet has grown into a small business built on late nights, farmers markets, learning through trial and error, and celebrating every little milestone along the way. As a new mom, you’ll often find me creating with my baby close by, balancing motherhood with chasing this dream one product at a time.

One of the biggest parts of this journey is my amazing friend, Jess Player. Every Monday we create together, encourage each other, share ideas, and keep each other motivated. Shire Studio wouldn’t be what it is today without her friendship and support.

I also couldn’t do any of this without my husband. From helping behind the scenes to cheering me on through every market, every new collection, and every challenge, he’s been there every step of the way. Having people who believe in your dream makes all the difference.

My hope is that when you bring home something from Shire Studio, you’re bringing home more than a handmade product. You’re supporting a family, a dream, and countless hours of creating something with intention. Whether it’s a candle that helps you unwind after a long day, a thoughtful gift for someone you love, or a little treat just for yourself, I hope it brings warmth, comfort, and joy into your home.

Thank you for supporting handmade, shopping small, and being part of this journey. It truly means the world to me.

With love,

Valeria
