Abstract
Candidate Candy is a seasonal e-commerce sweets shop that lampoons political candidates. The company's mission is to poke clean fun at every U.S. presidential candidate (and their associates), and deliver only the best USA-made confections to those suffering from sour campaigns.
​
I started Candidate Candy during the U.S. 2016 presidential campaign season. It allowed me to keep up with the politics and maintain my sanity, and it was also my first physical product design job. I learned a ton, ate even more candy, and enjoyed working with vendors across the USA. While the candy didn't help much at the end of the campaign season, it made the months leading up to it so much sweeter.
