Candace Bates

As a project captain of the northStudio team, Candace’s role in the company is to work closely with the account manager to provide the initial points of contact for clients. The account manager establishes the preliminary relationship, and then passes the baton to Candace, who organizes the logistics of the work queue to begin production. From then on, Candace is the project leader overseeing progress and acting as the liaison between our team and clients.

What makes Candace such a superstar is not only the obvious—her strong leadership ability, her communication skills, and her foresight with projects—but also how well she knows the northStudio staff and our skill sets, figuring out who is best for which task. Candace’s big picture vision is invaluable to finding the solution that will work for both the client and northStudio.

Candace loves the dynamic, creative environment northStudio provides as it offers her the space to grow both personally and professionally. She thrives on the uniqueness of each project and the opportunities to craft creative, individualized solutions to meet clients’ needs.

Ever the adventurous spirit, when she’s not in the office, Candace is likely to be doing something sporty, whether it’s playing football or basketball, yoga, running, biking, swimming, or her favourite: surfing.
