Meet the Maker: Hi. I am Lisa Hamilton-Gibbs and I would like to tell you about i candy. In the year 2000, feeling like a creative 'square peg' in a corporate 'round hole' I had hit rock bottom. I approached a few stores with some handmade cards I had been working on and discovered that they were a bit of a hit. i candy was born! Now 20 years on, i candy has evolved substantially but the original purpose behind the brand remains - to spread love by sending powerful messages with clean minimalist images out into the world.
I am passionate about living this one precious life to the fullest and I feel privileged to call i candy my first child. She has taught me some of the biggest lessons and provided me with an outlet for my creativity. The i candy 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!). We are 100% NZ made and our cards and protective sleeves are fully recyclable.
