Candice Cox, the creative mind and business owner behind Oakland based company Candid Art, is a self taught jewelry designer. She grew up in Oakland, California, where her parents nurtured her creative talents early on while simultaneously instilling the importance of hard work, and having passion behind whatever you do. Candice's creative talents and business savvy was further honed at Howard University where she studied Business Marketing, and earned her Bachelors degree. Upon graduating from Howard University School of Business, Candice moved back to California where she had a successful stint working for a top Fortune 100 Company. Candice then left the cushy confines of the corporate world in effort to make her mark on New York City in 2010. Shortly upon arriving in Brooklyn, NY and being creatively inspired by the local culture, fashion, and people, CANDIDART was born.
