Our Team

~ Meet the creative source of MG Designs & Candle Co. ~

Hi there! Welcome and thank you for visiting MG Designs & Candle Co. I'm Michelle Goodfellow, owner and maker of the custom products and scents available on this site. I am also the owner of Drab to Fab Designs, a full- service interior design and custom cabinet painting company, based in western St. Charles County, just outside of St. Louis, MO.  

From the inception of MG Designs & Candle Co., our "team" has been comprised solely of little old me, as far as research, development, production, marketing and sales. This has ensured that the core values and quality the company was founded on remain intact. I would be fully remiss though, to not recognize the amazing tribe I have alongside of me, always being the best support and encouragement I could ever ask for! From helping to select new scents, to buying up inventory faster than I could make it, they have and continue to be a huge part of the heart of this business! 

I have always been one that parallels scent with memories and mood, and thus, have always been drawn toward products that help to create an ambiance for the spaces I spend my time.

My journey into candle making began about 5 years ago, when I noticed the popular candle line that I filled my home with, was causing issues such as sooting on my walls and mild respiratory issues for not only myself and my family, but even for my dogs! I did research into what was causing this, and was crushed to find that the materials used in these products were equally as toxic as they were strong scented! So many chemicals!!

Through my continued research, I found that soy wax was a healthy alternative and along with certified clean scents and natural essential oils, I could again enjoy scenting my spaces and not risk my family's health and safety!

I am pleased to say that all of MG Designs & Candle Co. products are personally hand crafted with clean, sustainable ingredients which are sourced within the USA, providing you with a safe alternative for your home fragrance needs!

With your help, I hope to grow MG Designs & Candle Co. to be able to provide clean and sustainable scent solutions for many homes and spaces! You visiting the site today helps bring that dream a bit closer to reality. 

With abundant gratitude, I thank you!!
