Origin Story
In 2021, amidst the lockdowns in Melbourne, a simple yet transformative hobby was born. Like many others during this unprecedented time, I sought solace and a creative outlet within the confines of my home. What began as an experiment with making candles soon blossomed into a passion that filled my days with creativity and joy. This humble beginning marked the birth of Karamel Candles, a business rooted in love and innovation.
My journey to becoming a candle artisan was not straightforward. With a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and a master's degree in accounting, my educational background seemed worlds apart from the art of candle making. Despite not having a profound interest in these fields, the knowledge and skills I gained were invaluable in establishing this business.
After moving from Karamay to Melbourne, I spent seven transformative years in this vibrant city. Melbourne, with its rich cultural tapestry, has become my home. Here, I found the inspiration to channel my technical knowledge into a creative venture that reflects my passion for craftsmanship and community.
