About Our Venue

Meet The Kreative Krew

Meet Kandi

Hey Y'all I'm Kandi and it's so nice to meet you!  A little more about me and my journey to being a designer!

I grew up in Southeast Georgia and call Savannah home. I've been married for 25 years and have an amazing son and daughter.  I love the beach and being outdoors and I also love creating a beautiful home, one step at a time.  I started my creative venture in 2012 and by 2018, it had become a business.  In 2020 my husband  helped me design and build my shop so that I could continue to grow my brand and love for teaching.  Today I'm honored and blessed to serve over 600 members in my design school.  Teaching them how to make amazing home decor for their front doors and beyond.  I love that my community gives me a place to share my passion, my family, and most of all my creative life.  I look forward to inspiring you in your journey!
