About Candy

THE artist BEHIND THE WORK.

I'm Candy, a Melbourne-based fashion illustrator and live event artist. I create fashion-forward live art experiences for luxury brands, VIP events and celebrations.

Since 2018, I've worked across fashion, beauty, fragrance, automotive and lifestyle, creating fine art, illustration and personalised live experiences that capture meaningful moments.

Through Candy Ng Art and BonBon Creative Co., I also lead a curated team of artists for larger activations and creative projects across AUS & NZ.

My Approach

Fashion-led Art.
Made For Your Brand.

Every project starts with your brief. I consider your brand aesthetic, audience, venue and desired guest experience before creating an illustration style that feels considered and connected to your brand.

35+ Luxury Brands Worked With
2018 Live Art Since
100+ Live Events Delivered Each Year
My Signature Style

Fashion-forward.
Made for your brand.

My illustration style is fashion-forward, elegant and minimalist. Each portrait captures the outfit, accessories, posture and small details that make each guest unique.

Lines are minimal and confident. The result feels editorial while remaining personal.

For luxury brand clients, I work closely with your creative brief. If your aesthetic is minimal and clean, I can pull back the line weight and strip back colour. If you want something bold and expressive, I can bring that energy into the artwork.

Share your brand guidelines and creative references with me before the event and I'll make sure the illustrations feel connected to your brand.
