Founder
From refugee who lost everything escaping a war zone to a mother, award-winning TV producer and non toxic candle maker, Inga Lovric knows how to bring light to the darkness...
During the pandemic Illuminate founder Inga Lovric noticed that her house would become not just a home but an office, school and gym. It was then that she discovered the power of a potent, scented candle to 'zone' and create light and boundaries to spaces.
This inspired her to create her first candle. Not just another candle, a non toxic, clean, sustainable and beautifully, potently scented collection.
A refugee who lost everything when she escaped Warn for Yugoslavia in the 90s Inge rebuilt her life in London. She has raised her two daughters and established a successful career as an award-winning TV producer. From dark days living in a warzone to her busy life today, Inge never lost sight of the power of light to guide and bring joy to every day life. It is this love of light combined with her passion for sense that motivated to launch her own luxury candle brand in 2021 and allow her to share her love of light with others.
