Illustrator

Candice Whatmore

Candice grew up in a small village in Worcestershire and has always loved drawing. She enjoyed writing poems at school - mainly because the teacher always wanted them to be illustrated too, and that was the best bit!
Candice has worked at Usborne for many years, creating all kinds of different books - but her favourite has to be a sticker book. If it's a spooky sticker book, then even better. When she's not scribbling away or writing silly stories, she likes eating chocolate, swimming and listening to funny podcasts on the train.
