My name is Candace. I am a Southern California native, photographer and creative professional.

Right now, I am living on the East Coast working and working on SteamWolf Symphony – a costume/cosplay accessory shop and Ghoul Girls – a horror stylized pin-up photography series. Both are works of my own creation that I strive to grow with in every piece I produce. I am self taught in costuming, photography, makeup and modeling; with formal training in television and music.

My previous work includes a long and successful career in the video game industry. After having worked in games journalism for a time I made the leap into the role of community/social media manager for small game companies and lastly landing in marketing and PR with Performance Designed Products. In addition I’ve worked in major television, radio/podcasts, feature films and new media.

I grew up in a family with an affinity for the arts and Halloween was our favorite holiday. I began creating art out of anything I could find and at one point had an unhealthy obsession for Scotch Tape. I love spooky things, geek devices, crazy hair colors and horror films. In my off time I cosplay and play an unhealthy amount of video games with ultra-supportive gentleman named David and my fur babies.
