Melissa Horvath is the Owner and Designer for Pittsburgh, PA based company Sweet Water Decor. Grounded in motivation and positivity, she has set out to share what God has put in her heart through her journey in life as a wife, mom, friend, and business owner, in her first book: YOU GOT THIS! Growing up, she loved designing, and could always be found in the stationery section of every store she went into. She'd always be saving motivational quotes and writing them in a notebook. She fell in love with retail at a young age and has worked in retail since she was 18 (both in stores and at corporate). Melissa graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Finance and Minor in Marketing. From there she worked in the corporate world for Dick's Sporting Goods in Merchandising / Buying and went on to work as a Financial Analyst for FedEx Ground. In December 2014, Melissa started her business, Sweet Water Decor, in her basement while still working in the corporate world. Nine months later, she took over Sweet Water Decor full time and has grown the business to having over 30 amazing employees. Named one of Amazon's Women Owned Businesses to watch in 2018, her hand lettered gifts and home decor have been featured on the Today Show, Good Morning America, Business Insider, Huffington Post, Bustle, PopSugar, Country Living Magazine, Brit+Co, Refinery29, and many more. In the fall of 2017, she had a calling to create a gluten, lead, and phthalate free, high quality fragrance candle line. Today, it is one of their customer's favorite products and each of their candles is poured using US grown soy wax, in Pittsburgh, PA. Along with their amazing growing team, her husband Christopher runs the warehouse and candle production side, while Melissa does the designing and oversees marketing and operations. Her hand lettering has also been spotted in national stores from Hobby Lobby, Staples, HomeGoods, TJMaxx, HomeSense, Casetify, and more. From their humble beginnings of making every mug, to now serving hundreds of thousands of customers and having their product in over 4,000 boutiques / shops around the world as well as national stores, their goal continues to be to motivate and inspire their customers to live their dreams! Throughout Melissa's life, she has let God lead and wants to encourage others to do the same. Jeremiah 29:11 is her life motto and when she isn't designing or writing, you can find her sipping on decaf coffee while playing with her two little ones or finding a fun place to eat out for a date night with her husband.
