Colina Bruce is the CEO and founder of Noir Lux Candle Bar, a business she started in her kitchen in 2020 as a side hustle. Since then, it has grown into a full-time business with a brick-and-mortar location opened in 2022. Noir Lux Candle Bar provides a space for people to come and create their own custom candles while providing a warm and cozy environment.

The success of Noir Lux Candle Bar is something Colina is proud of. She has been able to create jobs, partnerships, and a space for other small businesses to start and grow. "The thing that keeps me going is understanding that this is bigger than me," Colina says. "So I'm going to figure it out by any means necessary."
