Candace Hinnergardt

Candace Hinnergardt is a public relations student with a minor in psychology at the University of Oklahoma. She is going on three years of being an active member of OU PRSSA and is serving on the executive board as Treasurer. When it comes to design, she considers herself knowledge in Adobe Creative Cloud software including InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator thought Illustrator is her hands-down favorite. Outside of academics and her pursuit of a career, Candace can’t get enough of drinking coffee, reading books, traveling the world and learning more about her Christianity all of which influence what she designs and how she designs it. She holds fast to her belief that one should never be denied a great cup of coffee, the gift of reading, a chance to explore new worlds or the love of Christ. This belief motivates Candace to go beyond her quiet shell and search for adventure and new experiences on the trails and in other countries. Back in May, she had the opportunity to travel abroad for the first time to London and Paris with the Gaylord College British Media Study. While there, she saw design and public relations from an international perspective. In addition to drinking coffee and reading, Candace enjoys hiking, skiing, kayaking or really anything where she can be out in nature. Though she’s not sure what exactly she wants to do following graduation, she has dreams of doing something big and challenging that involves coffee, books, travel, Jesus and of course…design.
