We were lucky to catch up with Ajaé Moore recently and have shared our conversation below.

Ajaé, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s been the most meaningful project you’ve worked on?

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on was a collaboration with an architecture company. This experience was significant to me because it allowed me to build something from scratch alongside skilled professionals who are masters at their craft. My love for architecture and design dates back to my college days when I majored in Home Furnishings (Interior Design). Working on this project felt like an out-of-body experience as I created a product in collaboration with them, feeling valued, seen, and heard throughout the process.

This project reinforced my belief in my business and demonstrated that through creating my own candle products and hard work, the opportunities I desire will be attracted to me. It was a pivotal moment that showed me the power of perseverance and the importance of aligning my passions with my work.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

My name is Ajaé Moore, and I am the creative force behind Massajaé, a brand dedicated to crafting sensory experiences through luxury candles and immersive events. My journey into this industry began in New York City, where I honed my skills in the hospitality sector, particularly in fine dining and high-profile event management. This foundational experience allowed me to understand the intricacies of creating memorable moments, which I now infuse into my own business.

My Craft and Offerings

Massajaé specializes in creating bespoke candle collections and curating sensory events that transport guests into new realms of experience. Our products include luxury candles, each meticulously handcrafted and uniquely designed to evoke specific moods and memories. Additionally, we offer a range of private and corporate event services, including sophisticated cocktail experiences, French dessert dining, and virtual candle crafting workshops.

Solving Problems and Unique Value

One of the core problems we solve for our clients is the need for unique, memorable experiences that stand out in a crowded marketplace. Our events are designed to be immersive, engaging, and multi-sensory, ensuring that guests leave with lasting impressions. What sets Massajaé apart is our dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail, whether in our candle designs or the thematic elements of our events.

Inspirations and Mission

My inspiration comes from a deep-seated passion for design and a desire to create beauty in everyday life. My background in interior design and my love for architecture have significantly influenced my approach to creating products and experiences that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. My mission is to use my creativity as a vehicle for connection, bringing people together through shared experiences that engage all the senses.

Achievements and Pride

I am most proud of my ability to create experiences that allow guests to be fully present and engaged in the moment. In a world filled with distractions, my events are crafted to help people reconnect with themselves and each other. Two of the proudest moments in my career was collaborating with an architecture firm and collaborating with hospitality experts creating candle products for restaurants to set the tone for how they want their guest to feel when they enter in the space , which validated my creative vision and reinforced my belief in the power of hard work and passion.

Final Thoughts

To potential clients, followers, and fans, I want you to know that Massajaé is not just about candles or events; it’s about creating moments of joy, connection, and inspiration. Whether through a luxury candle that transforms your home or an event that leaves you with cherished memories, my goal is to enhance your life in meaningful ways.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding thing about being an artist and creative is the profound impact my work can have on people. Knowing that I can create experiences that allow individuals to be present, immerse themselves in the moment, and connect with their senses is incredibly fulfilling. Every project, whether it’s crafting a custom candle or designing a sensory event, offers a unique opportunity to inspire, evoke emotions, and create lasting memories. The ability to transform ideas into tangible, beautiful experiences and share them with others brings a deep sense of joy and purpose to my life.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

My goal is to leave behind a legacy that will outlive me, knowing that I started something with the power to positively and impactfully affect people long after I’m gone. It all began with a single idea, which I nurtured and brought to life using various tools and skillsets. As I grow and eventually start a family of my own, I want to demonstrate to my offspring that it’s possible to create the life you want, succeed, and thrive. This mission fuels my passion and drive, ensuring that every project I undertake contributes to a greater purpose.
