About Flickerby

Our can­dle com­pany really started off as just a way for a mar­ried cou­ple to bond and have a hobby together. We were really just look­ing for a way to spend time with each other in the midst of two busy work sched­ules, Soc­cer prac­tice, T-Ball prac­tice, and Boy Scouts.

In a very short amount of time friends were ask­ing about our can­dles, and so turn­ing our fun lit­tle hobby into a busi­ness we could become pas­sion­ate about just seemed like a great under­tak­ing. For months we dis­cussed dif­fer­ent types of waxes, wicks, jars, scents, costs, and pric­ing. We wanted to build a brand that we could be proud of, a phi­los­o­phy we could stand proudly behind, and an expe­ri­ence for cus­tomers that was dif­fer­ent then so many can­dle com­pa­nies out there.

Finally, in 2010 we were ready to launch our busi­ness Flickerby Can­dles. Flickerby Can­dles name came from Michelle’s love of but­ter­flies. We wanted to incor­po­rate a but­ter­fly into our name and logo, but how?. As it turned out our first com­pany name con­cept was already taken. Our designer Christo­pher Uryga of Aedis Cre­ative approached us with an idea. “A but­ter­fly is some­times play­fully called a Flut­terby. Can­dles flicker. Why don’t you name your com­pany Flickerby Candles.”
