In the year 2000, feeling like a creative 'square peg' in a corporate 'round hole' I had hit rock bottom. I knew that I wanted to put something wonderful out there into the world but I needed to find a channel for my creativity. I approached a few stores with some handmade cards I had been working on and discovered that they were a bit of a hit. And that was the birth of the iCandy brand.

Now over 20 years on, iCandy has evolved substantially but the original purpose behind the brand remains - to create images and messages that go straight to the heart. The iCandy range is an expression of my life. As I have navigated my way through many ups and downs, loves and losses I have documented my experiences along the way. And because we are all on this crazy journey together - my experiences are your experiences. I have a card for every occasion (or maybe a few!).

I am very committed to supporting New Zealand businesses. I know that for every iCandy item that is sold we are supporting not only the people that make our product, but the families that support them.

I must also share that whilst I am the brainchild of iCandy this brand would not be what it is without the support of the people who share my vision in this business. A heartfelt thanks to Miriam and Suzy for their commitment unwavering support. They are voices of reason and constantly push me to be a better version of myself.
