A Little About Me

Who I Am

I’m Candice — a digital designer with a background in product design, now focused on UI/UX, digital illustration, and visual storytelling.

With over 20 years of design experience, I’ve learned how to balance creativity with function, building work that feels both beautiful and purposeful.

My background in physical product design shaped the way I approach digital experiences by considering the user, constraints, and real-world usability.

I love turning complex ideas into clear, intuitive designs that feel intentional, human-centered, and emotionally engaging.
