Yan Yan Candy Ng is an Australian illustrator and artist living and working in Melbourne, Australia. Born in Hong Kong, Candy moved to Melbourne to explore creative opportunities. She hasn’t left since. Candy specialises in illustration, mural design and map drawing. Her work is often colourful, cheerful and whimsical. Creativity has been a gateway for her to express her voice, connect with others, and grow as a person. Candy’s work aims to bring happiness to herself and to other people – she believes making people smile can change the world.
Candy has worked with local and international clients, one of her favourite projects is for BIC x Smiling Mind, and she also like to create products for her online shop. When not creating, she can be found in the kitchen eating snacks, roller skating or thinking about her next road trip.
