About

Hi, I'm Savana.

One of my favorite things in the world is going out to dinner. I love the few hours where you can unplug, spend time with the people you love, and celebrate something, whether it's a big occasion or just an ordinary night out.

That turned into a bigger appreciation for hospitality in general: a beautiful restaurant, a great bar, a hotel you never want to leave, and especially the little details that make an experience feel considered and memorable.

Somewhere along the way, I started collecting matchbooks. I loved that something so small could capture so much of a place: the branding, the atmosphere, and the memory of being there. The really good ones became souvenirs I wanted to keep, and sometimes even a reason to seek out a place in the first place.

I'm a designer by trade, so naturally I became a little obsessed with what makes a matchbook worth keeping. I also realized how limited the options were for businesses that wanted something beyond the standard matchbook or matchbox.

That's why I started Moth.

Moth creates custom matches for restaurants, bars, hotels, and brands that care about the details. Something thoughtfully designed, worth taking home, and small enough to carry a little piece of the experience with you.

Because sometimes it's the smallest touch that sticks with you.
