A little bit about me
Hey! I'm Candice, I'm an Art Director from Virginia, currently based in Los Angeles.

You might have seen some of my work in The New York Times, SNKRS, Rolling Stone, Adweek, Adage, and more. I've been featured by the CLIOS, the 3% Conference and Little Black Book. I was a guest lecturer for New York City College of Technology and sat as a panelist for their Meet the Pros series. I've taught courses for The Creative Circus, while serving on their Advisory Board and I was named on The Drum's 50 under 30 Creatives.
