Alexis founded Gold + Ivy, when her passion for creating and candles was lit during her time studying graphic design. Although graphic design wasn't totally her passion, she needed to find something that was. Needing a single product that was all hands-on - candles were the winner. These candles are hand poured in Nashville and carefully crafted using non-toxic ingredients. Her graphic design background came in handy when creating the design of these minimalist candles that look great in any setting, especially your home.
