🕯️ Candle Design Tool

The one central place for candle Inspiration + the first-wave teacher funnel: moodboard, per-SKU generation for ecommerce / lifestyle / ad / PrintMint label, and an approval gate that must be KEPT by a human before any export exists.

Ownership: Graphic Design uses this tool to produce labels and the funnel set. Once a SKU is KEPT and exported, the Family Gift Studio bot pushes the PrintMint label to Printify and then to Shopify. This app never calls Printify or Shopify — see OPERATOR.md.

Gold lid, bold floral-arch label wrapping the jar, warm citrus palette. Same family as Mango Coconut / Bali Sunrise. This is the shelf-presence bar to hit.
