About Ambush Candle Co.

I’m Bradley Richardson, an artist and entrepreneur based in Traverse City, Michigan. From a young age, I’ve pursued a creative path, building small artistic businesses to avoid the traditional 9-to-5 grind. Like many, I’ve always been deeply inspired by art and nature—two forces that I believe are the most cohesive elements of life and culture. Growing up in northern Illinois, I spent my days camping, playing in bands and creating artwork on my computer. Over time, I discovered a deep passion for design, branding, and storytelling through thoughtfully crafted products. Ambush Candle Co. has become a great vehicle for this creativity. Every item that leaves our shop embodies a commitment to quality, sustainability, and American craftsmanship, with meticulous attention to detail.Read their story
