About haeley

Haeley Gjesvold is a creative director, stylist, and small business owner based in Portland, Oregon. Her work lives at the intersection of space, scent, and storytelling, spanning creative direction, styling, home staging and experiential workshops.

Raised in the Pacific Northwest, Haeley draws inspiration from natural light, atmosphere, and the emotional imprint of places — though she’s more often mentally somewhere more sun-soaked, cinematic, or slightly otherworldly. With a background in building and running her own candle/fragrance brand, she brings both creative vision and practical execution to every project.

Haeley approaches design as a way of shaping how something feels, not just how it looks.

She is based in Portland, Oregon, and loves to travel.

When she’s not creating worlds or exploring portals, Haeley can usually be found in a dance studio, reading as many books as she can, or tending to her beautiful (and fussy) indoor lemon tree.

If you’d like to explore her candle and perfume work, you can find her fragrance studio at www.nightworkcandle.com
