About Me
Hi there! I'm El Love, the founder of Lovecrafted, and a Houston native with a passion for creativity and technology. With a background in media production and instructional technology, I've always had a knack for blending artistry with innovation.
My journey into the world of candle making began unexpectedly, sparked by a gift from my former supervisor in December of 2022. A 3-wick Flannel candle that ignited a newfound passion within me. As it flickered, it created an ambiance of tranquility during a time when I needed it most. Inspired by its comforting aroma, I delved into the intricate art and science of candle making, eager to explore every facet of this intriguing craft.
In January of 2023, after extensive research, I poured my first batch of test candles, reusing jars from candles I had never used, and infusing them with a custom blend of fragrance oils, the very first being Macintosh Apple and White Birch. In that moment, even though I didn't know it yet, Lovecrafted was born.
Today, I take pride in handcrafting premium-quality candles that aim to evoke the same sense of serenity and comfort that I experienced with that first Flannel candle. Each is meticulously crafted and aged to perfection, ensuring a consistent and delightful sensory experience with every burn.
Outside of candle making, I'm dedicated to empowering others through technology and education. As a full-time educator in the instructional technology department of a suburban independent school district, I thrive on teaching students and adults how to harness the power of technology to enhance their 21st-century skills. One of my goals is to utilize online platforms to teach proper candle making as well.
Whether you're searching for the perfect gift or simply looking to add a touch of warmth to your own space, I invite you to experience the magic of Lovecrafted.
