Bio
Troy Norman
Candace was my IA at General Assembly during the 3 month UX Design Immersive. As a UX Designer, she knows her stuff. But I really enjoyed her teaching style and how it helped me understand and retain these new concepts. Everyday Candace was energetic, organized, and super invested in setting me up for success. She was wonderful to learn under, and I know she’ll continue to make others feel the same. I recommend Candace as she’s able to handle anything UX related with a positive, can-do attitude.

I’ve had the privilege to have Candace as my instructional lead when I was a student at General Assembly learning the foundations of UX Design, and also work with her as her instructional associate. She’s been a wonderful mentor and coworker. She’s helped me learn how to think critically about my users and my problems I’m trying to solve, while also building my confidence in being able to work cross-functional teams with her background in development. She not only makes UX Design easy to understand, but taught me to be authentically me. Her insights and experience as both a product designer and front-end web developer has inspired me to continue to grow and learn to be the best designer I can be and even go a step further in learning the basics of front-end development so can better communicate my work. If you are looking for someone who has experience with branding, design, developing, teaching, and mentoring, Candace is your girl! I cannot recommend or thank her enough for all that she’s taught me.
