Available to hire
Hi! I’m Candice, a passionate illustrator and designer with a knack for blending traditional media with digital tools to create engaging visuals that complement written content. I’ve had the pleasure of working with clients like the LA Times and Missouri History Museum, and I’m excited to keep pushing creative boundaries.
With a background in both illustration and international relations, I bring a unique perspective to my work, whether I’m designing print layouts, crafting editorial illustrations, or guiding students through the design process. Collaboration and continuous learning are at the heart of what I do, and I love helping ideas come to life.
