Meet Our Founder, Marticka Malisow!
From the vibrant landscapes of Nevada, I embarked on a journey that gave life to Ruby Mae's candles. My upbringing, under the nurturing guidance of my grandparents, instilled in me a blend of resilience, compassion, and creativity. These values, coupled with a life rich in diverse experiences, from arts to healthcare, shaped my vision. The wisdom of my grandmother, a dedicated nurse, deeply influenced my path, guiding me towards a career in nursing where empathy meets action.
Today, as a registered nurse, mother, and entrepreneur, each candle I create at Ruby Mae is a reflection of this journey. They are more than just sources of light; they are stories, each flame a tribute to the enduring spirit of resilience and creativity. In every scent, color, and flicker, there's a piece of my story, an invitation for you to weave your own into our tapestry.
The Inspiration Behind "Ruby Mae" ...
Ruby Mae celebrates the beauty of individuality and the diverse paths we tread in life. Raised in the nurturing embrace of my grandparents' home, particularly close to my grandmother, Ruby Mae, I cultivated a profound connection with her. Her career as a nurse at UMC hospital's burn care unit left an indelible mark on my heart.
During those formative years, I witnessed firsthand the dedication and compassion that nurses like my grandmother embody. Their unwavering commitment to caring for others ignited a spark within me. It was through her example that I discovered my own calling in healthcare.
After my grandmother's passing, I embarked on a journey to fulfill the legacy she left behind. Despite the uncertainties along the way, I pursued my dream of becoming a nurse, driven by her enduring influence. Along this path, I've come to appreciate the importance of family, community, and holistic wellness.
Ruby Mae's presence in my life continues to inspire and empower me. Her legacy of love, compassion, and selflessness fuels my passion to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through An Inspired Collection, I aim to share the essence of Ruby Mae with you and your loved ones, hoping to ignite a sense of joy, inspiration, and connection in your unique journey.
