About Isaiah’s Candle Company

My Story

Isaiah is the middle name of my grandfather, father, and it was passed down to me. They learned best through observation, experimenting, and hands-on involvement.

My earliest memory of candles takes me back to elementary school. One year for the annual school fundraiser, students’ were given the opportunity to sell a variety of products such as; gift wrap, individualized gifts, small electronics, gadgets for your kitchen and home, and gourmet treats to name a few. Out of the entire catalog, the product that stood out to me the most were the candles. My parents’ ordered two for our home (Baked Apple Pie, & Strawberries and Cream). It was during this time when I realized that I really like candles.

I was intrigued by candles, mainly because of their smell. Over the years from learning more about candles, I grew to appreciate the numerous benefits candles provide such as; relaxation, reducing stress, aromatherapy, enhancing special occasions, gifts, amplifying home décor, and a reflection of self-expression to name a few.

I’ve always been passionate about education, and having a strong work ethic. With twenty-three years of food service experience, nine years of classroom teaching experience, and a master’s degree in Human Resources, those experiences combined, fueled the desire to create my own product or service. Out of the dozens of business ideas that I have had over the past two decades, it wasn’t until October of 2018, when the vision of creating a successful candle business came to mind, and stuck.

The combination of my father’s and grandfather’s learning styles, along with my love for candles, education, and business, inspired the concept of Isaiah’s Candle Company. From years of observing, and paying close attention to popular fragrances, the idea of providing a line of candles designed to create nostalgia, while waking up your senses was developed.
