Meet Amy

Melt. was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to create something beautiful that also allowed me to be more present with my family.

I’m Amy – founder of Melt., maker, and mum of two. I started Melt. in early 2024 to find balance between motherhood, creativity, and ambition. What began as a small idea has grown into a business that brings warmth to homes across Aotearoa.

Every Melt. candle is hand-poured in small batches using premium, natural ingredients. I’m personally involved in every step. From blending the fragrances to pouring the wax - ensuring each piece meets the highest standard of quality and care. Whether you love a sweet and cosy vanilla or a fresh, floral burst, each scent turns everyday moments into something a little more special.

An intentional way of living

Supporting Melt. means supporting a dream built around family, passion, and the pursuit of a more intentional way of living - a little hustle, a lot of love, and a whole lot of warmth. I believe that how I make our products matters, from eco-friendly materials to ethical production practices, we’re committed to ensuring our candles are as gentle on the planet as they are beautiful in your home.

Thank you for being part of our story, one candle, one moment, one memory at a time.
