Hi, I’m Candice Rose.

A Creative Director + Copywriter

I’m obsessed with words. They’re the uniquely human tools that help bring stories and ideas to life, express the world around us, and make meaning of it, too.  

I stumbled upon this one: Meraki (may-rah-kee) is a Greek word meaning “the soul, creativity, or love put into something; the essence of yourself that is put into your work.”

In a sea of AI-generated copy, stale ideas, and “qualified candidates,” this is what sets me apart: A blend of solid strategy, inspiring leadership, creative vision, and a dash of "meraki." I bring innovative ideas to life.

I'm at home working with everyone from non-profits to Fortune 500 companies — let's create something we love.

Saying the quiet part out loud: These intangibles—soft skills and subtle strengths—are the qualities that truly drive results. They can't be listed on a resume, but they make all the difference in creative work.

  • Heart in the Game

    My third-grade teacher told me I'd never make a living with words and ideas. Proud and grateful to still be proving her wrong.

  • Well-Seasoned

    Don't let my fresh energy fool you; I've put in the work and collected the wisdom.

  • Thoughtful Leader

    Kind coworker. Advocate for everyone's best interest. Ego & drama are a waste of time.

Take it from them.

  • “Working with Candice as a creative director feels less like having a boss and more like having a creative compass. She doesn’t just make the work better, she makes you better, gently encouraging you to think sharper, write braver, and trust your instincts. I’ve never felt more supported or more challenged in the best possible way.”

    Mayi Sanchez, Senior Copywriter + Direct Report

  • "Your talent is so obviously beneficial to those around you. Your writing is so good, and your thinking is regularly on point. But it’s more than that. You have this way of showing up, cutting through BS, and helping us make sense of whatever nut we were given to crack. And the worst/best part? You make it look easy and feel fun."

  • "Beyond her creative contributions, Candice has shown a deep commitment to supporting and mentoring her team. Her willingness to invest in others’ growth speaks volumes about her leadership and the collaborative culture she helps foster.”

    Kevyn Faulkenberry, Senior Director + Boss

  • “I’m consistently impressed not just by the caliber of your creative work, but by how you work. You listen deeply, translate complex needs into clear, compelling ideas, and make every collaboration feel thoughtful and effortless. You bring both strategic insight and genuine care to the process, which builds trust quickly and keeps us coming back project after project.”
