Candace is a New York-based designer with a passion for creating globally relevant, omni-channel products that combine trend, function, and customer centric design. Her career spans designing for men’s and women’s sleep and loungewear to children’s sportswear and accessories; leading dynamic creative teams in building brand-right collections that drive impactful results.

Rooted in a love of design, from concept to customer experience, Candace thrives in cross-functional collaboration, purposeful innovation, and people-first leadership; building teams that are creatively driven and engaged. Her commitment to low-impact, responsible design is both professional and personal, inspired by her teenage twins, her most trusted (and toughest!) advisors.

Beyond the office, Candace is a founding member of the co-lab and the Newcastle Council on Race and Equity, where she led community education initiatives. A certified Pilates instructor and a former adjunct professor at her alma mater, Marist University, she enjoys drawing on her experiences to mentor young creatives and changemakers.
