Candace is a multidisciplinary designer + creative director and educator, committed to building racial equity through design and nourished by a passion for cultural archival + preservation.

After several years working in Chicago’s advertising playground, she’s now based in Beaumont, TX, not too far from her hometown of Port Arthur. Here she’s found a special balance that lends itself to a richer creative life, a positive work environment, and most importantly, more family time.

She’s most inspired when c rafting time to explore her heritage, garden, travel, dabble in home design, and cook.
