Hi, I'm
Bridgette.

I grew up in Barbados, surrounded by a culture where food, family, community, the outdoors, and enjoying life were simply part of how we lived. When I moved to the United States for college, I knew I wanted to establish myself professionally in healthcare management. Even then, I also knew entrepreneurship would eventually complement my professional career and become an important part of my story.

I wanted to build a career I was proud of and create things of my own.

That creative and entrepreneurial journey now centers on the places I explore, the food and stories I bring home, and Wick Theory, my candle and home-fragrance brand. Building it has allowed me to experience entrepreneurship from the ground up through product development, storytelling, selling, learning, and continually evolving.

Travel and food are equally important threads in my life. I'm fascinated by what makes a place feel like a place: its people, neighborhoods, landscapes, traditions, and especially its food. Growing up in Barbados gave me an early appreciation for bold Caribbean flavors, gathering around the table, and the stories passed from one kitchen to another.

Today, I'm bringing together my professional experience, creativity, love of travel, food, storytelling, and entrepreneurship to build a life that feels entirely my own. I love traveling somewhere new, spending time outdoors, discovering a restaurant I'll talk about for months, creating something from an idea, and, most importantly, making memories with the people I love.

I've learned that ambition and creativity do not have to exist in separate lanes. A meaningful career can sit alongside a growing business; staying rooted can coexist with seeing the world; and working toward the future can still leave room to enjoy the life you have right now.
