Candice Rhea
Creative Director • Brand Designer

I’m the one teams call to take full ownership of the brand. From identity and direction to the systems that hold everything together. I define what the brand needs, guide teams through implementation, and build the structure that carries a business into its next stage.

Select brands I’ve contributed to, through direct client work and agency collaborations.

How I add value to the brands, teams, and projects I work with.

If you want the full picture—my process, my values, and how I approach brands—you’ll find it on my About page.

About Me
Icon

Full-Scope Brand Ownership

I handle the entire brand ecosystem — identity, direction, systems, and execution — so teams don’t have to manage multiple creatives or fill in the gaps themselves.

Icon

Cross-Team Alignment

I create brand clarity that marketing, product, UX, and leadership can all use, ensuring every touchpoint looks, feels, and functions like the same company.

Strategic Design That Performs

Every visual decision is backed by logic, hierarchy, and intent — producing work that’s clean, credible, and built to support real business outcomes.

Process IS Effectiveness

A Proven Process that Works

We create a detailed pre-construction plan—covering scope, budget, and timeline—working with architects, engineers, and clients to ensure everything is ready before construction begins.

Process

Construct a Building

With the plan in place, our skilled crews bring it to life. We use quality materials, proven techniques, and strict safety standards to keep your project on track and built to last.

Process

Provide a Solution

We finish strong with thorough inspections, final touches, and a complete walkthrough. You get a finished project that meets our highest standards — and yours.

A look at the research-led case studies I explore in my own time.

I don’t normally produce full case studies in my day-to-day work, but I enjoy taking deep dives when I have the space. These projects were self-initiated — research-led explorations into how brands succeed and how their ecosystems can be improved.
