ABOUT
Welcome to Candy Kims, a creative kind of thing.
I'm a general creative being, Wife and Mum of two. Based in Bournemouth it's hard not to be a lover of this planet where we live, take a peek at my GOOD TO KNOW section for more.
Originally trained in illustration, but have spent my time amongst jewellery, model making, graphic design and print.
My work is diverse due to the bespoke commissions I have collected over the years, from publications to wedding clients. I love any creative challenge, big or small, hands-on or computer based. Whatever your idea, get in touch. I'm always available for a creative brainstorm.
Check out my TOP PROJECTS for some of my favourite jobs so far.
It's good to know that here at Candy Kims, I have the planet in mind with each job I take on.
Through my experience in the creative industries, I have learnt where I can make impactful decisions to minimise the environmental impact of my projects. Some examples include printing on recycled and recyclable paper, avoiding lamentations, using re-pulpable foils and favouring sustainably sourced wood and metal as my main model making materials.
I work with this ethos and am passionate about sharing these hacks with other people. So get in touch even if your project is off the ground and you're keen to make it green, two heads are better than one.
Simple changes can make a huge difference.
JESS & MARCUS
“Where do I start?! Working with Candy was an absolute dream. She’s understanding, patient (I changed my mind a lot!!) and so helpful! Candy was fantastic at communicating and created a bespoke stationery package for our wedding day. She went above and beyond on every aspect, and I love the fact that everything created for our wedding was also environmentally friendly/recyclable. If you are wanting something totally unique and special, I would highly recommend Candy for anything design, stationery, and graphics"
JOSI & ADELLE
“Candy is an incredibly professional and talented person. She created such a bespoke theme for us, which ran through our stationary, signage and decorations. Her sustainability focus was very important to us and we loved that all of our products from Candy were eco friendly. We’ve had so many compliments, especially with regards to the level of detail and personal touches. Her organisation and efficiency is just what you need to reduce stress for what can be a stressful planning process!! Thank you so so much”
CLARE & OLIVER
“Candy was amazing from start to end in supplying the stationary for our wedding. She responded really quickly to all our queries and was able to make last minute changes in the week before our wedding, which really helped us. We were so impressed with all the stationary and signage for our wedding, which were exactly what we wanted! We would definitely recommend Candy and use her again for any future events”
DOUGLAS & HEATHER
“From start to finish, Candy was the most helpful, supportive and encouraging. We showed her just a few ideas and what she imagined, created and achieved from that was beyond our wildest imaginations. We felt so special throughout and she made us feel like anything was achieveable and wholeheartedly turned our dreams into reality. She made everything perfect and unbelievably beautiful. Thank you!!!”
JACK & NAOMI
“Stationery was a huge part of our day as it set the theme from the first invitation. We had no idea where to start. Candy came to us with so many amazing ideas and we were able to work together to find the perfect design for all our stationery. We loved them, they set the tone for the wedding and we had so many compliments on them from guests. Best keep sakes!”
JOHN & DEBORAH
“Candy produced our wedding stationery for us, and it was simply amazing. She listened to our thoughts and ideas and came up with something far better than we could have ever imagined. Her vision is so creative and unique. Our invitations particularly, really stood out from others we’ve received, and we still have one on display in our house”
