Jonathan Candelaria Email and Phone Number

Born and raised in Jersey City, Jonathan's love for creativity began early on when his mom would put his finger paintings on the fridge.‍His ego got bigger when he was asked at church to design the weekly bulletins and EasyWorship presentations. This, it turned out, was quite an art form. And he was pretty good at it.‍But life happened and like any first-generation American born in the inner city, the hope was to get a good-paying job to make the family proud.‍Halfway through his pre-med track at BU, he realized he was having more fun making the information he was learning more interesting to look at and remember.‍A plot twist. But, in retrospect, not so surprising.Since then, Jonathan has spent his career failing spectacularly while, at the same time, scoring a few wins at this creativity thing.His work has been recognized widely by prestigious organizations like Cannes Lions, The One Show, Webby Awards, Effie Awards, Clio Awards, AdAge and PR Week.He's been trusted to work alongside iconic names like Anheuser-Busch, General Motors, GSK, Humana, IBM, KPMG, Mattel, Pernod Ricard, Sandy Hook Promise, the U.S. State Department, Verizon and Warner Bros.And these days, when he's not busy pushing pixels, you can find Jonathan asking people about their favorite writing utensils, tinkering with film recipes for his Fujifilm and telling his pup, Dingo, that he's a very good boy.
