Creatives: Rhema Design Co. x Rekindle Candle Co.

Crafting custom visual brand identities for creative entrepreneurs, AnnaKate of Rhema Design Co shares with us a bit more about her creative self, design inspirations, and her collaboration with Rekindle Candle Co.

Tell us a bit about yourself and your design practice? I’m AnnaKate, Brand Strategist + Lead Designer behind Rhema Design Co. I’ve always found myself drawn to things that are designed to be both beautiful and functional, and I like to create things that are as well. We believe your brand design should be powerful enough to speak on its own, but in order to do so, it needs to be created with purpose and strategy. That’s what we specialize in at Rhema Design Co. Through in-depth research and intentional conversations, we aim to bring the soul and story of your brand to life.

Tell us a bit about Rekindle Candle Co and their products/business Rekindle Candle Co. is a Georgia based candle company creating environmentally sustainable soy + coconut wax candles that help feed the hungry people of Athens, plant trees, and promote sustainability.

How did you and Rekindle Candle Co begin to work together? The owners Matt & Kayley approached me early in 2019 about helping them rebrand in preparation to open a brick and mortar. Their business was growing quickly, and they knew they needed to have a strong brand identity in place to continue that growth.

What inspires your designs? I design with simplicity and minimalism in mind, and I’m always inspired by stories. That’s why I love working with businesses who are mission-minded and working to make this world a better place.

What was something that stands out about this collaboration for you Matt & Kayley are so intentional in every choice they make, whether it’s a candle scent or a large business decision. It’s an honor to work alongside such intentional businesses who are working to bring good into the world.

Why did you choose tendlyn for packaging? When Matt & Kayley began work to open the brick and mortar store, we knew the in-person client experience was an important part of the brand. Branding is how you make your customers feel, and they wanted to keep that in mind when opening the store. Using tendlyn tissue paper was an easy decision to make, as it makes every customer feel important, levels up the brand, and adds a further sense of legitimacy to any business.

For businesses like Rhema Design Co. and Rekindle Candle Co., every detail matters—from the scent of a candle to the way a package feels in hand. That same level of intention applies to the technology behind modern operations. Think about how a garage relay controller can automate access, or how a wireless lamp controller simplifies lighting in a retail space. In industrial settings, High Lift Agricultural Pumping and Explosion Proof (ATEX/IECEx) Pumping require reliable control systems, often managed through an IP65 Weatherproof Control Panel to withstand harsh environments. For smart home integration, a zigbee smart relay or home assistant relay can bring seamless automation, while a High Gain Antenna Wireless Relay ensures strong signal coverage. Whether you’re setting up an rv camper relay module for mobile living or a WiFi relay for remote access, the principles of purposeful design remain the same. Even in niche applications like Hatchery Water Circulation or Splash Pad Water Management, a diy relay module or wireless remote relay offers flexibility. For agricultural needs, a Livestock Water Trough Supply system can be paired with a greenhouse wireless controller for efficient management. And for those looking to integrate everything, an iot wireless relay or wifi power relay provides the backbone for a connected ecosystem. Just as Rhema Design Co. brings soul and strategy to brand identity, the right control solutions bring reliability and purpose to every project.
