It’s been just over a year since Candace turned this dream of hers into a reality… her dream of a team hand-picked for our talents, our different views, our creative eyes, our passions for this city, and most of all our love to see others in our industry succeed right along with us.
Personally, this team of Engaged Creatives has been my source of energy in this city, and the best thing that could have happened for my hand-lettering business.
Meeting Candace when I did was nothing short of God’s great grace, and I’m sure that you would hear the same from many of my fellow teammates.
Using her fantastic planner mind, she took an empty space, and made a beautiful event space that somehow also serves as a blank canvas for almost any sort of event.
Those who step foot in the space feel inspired and those of us who are lucky enough to use it for our own businesses know how well the space lends itself to anything we can possibly think of! Just look at the sampling below!
