Hi, I’m Melissa! The heart behind Glow & Grain.

I’m a mom, wife, children’s book author, and a background actor who loves turning stories, memories, and moments into meaningful handmade pieces.

Glow & Grain was born from my passion for creating meaningful, personal pieces. I design custom candles and wood-engraved items that celebrate people, memories, and all my favorite pop culture related things.

Every piece is made with care, intention, and a belief that the most beautiful things are the ones that tell a story.
