Hi, I'm Jenna.
What started as a creative experiment during lockdown quickly blossomed into something more. I made my first handmade scented candles just for fun, but they soon became gifts that friends and family loved.
Seeing the joy they brought, I realised this passion could be a way to support my family while staying present for my husband and kids.
Every part of this brand reflects my dedication and love for what I do.
With their encouragement, I took a leap and founded Mila Mae and Co, an artisan candle company that grew beyond my wildest dreams. Over time I curated and refined my products, learning the ins and outs of running a small business along the way.
Through hard work, determination and a whole lot of learning, I turned that dream into a thriving business, making products that bring warmth and light into people's homes.

The scented candles I started with are finishing up. What carries on is the part I love most: lighting up the big moments, and the people who come together for them.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Feel free to reach out, I'd love to hear from you.
