About Candi

Since graduating from BHC School of Interior Design in 2007, I have been privileged to have been able to work on various projects in various cities.

My first job was in the corporate office arena. Through this almost 5 year journey I learnt many great skills from great mentors. I was also able to complete part-time studies in facilities management, REVIT and event management. 

This then lead to a slight career change into event industry. I focused on event layouts for the next few years and gained as much knowledge as I could about the industry.

Then in 2018 I took a huge leap of faith, rounded up the accumulated knowledge of the past 15 years and went out on my own.
By using the knowledge I have gained and my god-given ability to understand people, I can now help solve their design issues.

"Candi Coated’s name derived from a simple sweet, when coated with a hard candi layer, it not only takes on a more solid version of itself but adds some colour for the eye and sweetness to the taste. And just as the name describes we aim to add strength, vibrancy and tasteful elements to your concept." Candice Manuel
