Hi, I'm Candice Swart – Founder of Inspire and Indulge.
I'm an enthusiastic, creative doer who loves socialising, learning about people, and exploring different cultures and backgrounds.
I grew up in a house full of sisters – each of us bursting with creativity in our own way. One’s a photographer, another is a fabulously talented (and pretty famous!) animator, and the youngest? Well, she does what I do... just better. She’s even won awards. No sibling rivalry here – just a whole lot of inspiration flying around!
Creativity has always been in my blood – and while it’s hard work, it’s fun, rewarding, and full of surprises.
Right now, I work as an interior designer – something I’ve loved and grown into over 17 years. I started from the bottom, worked my way up, and even ran a successful design firm in South Africa, leading a vibrant creative team and delivering standout commercial fitouts. I've also dipped into student accommodation, residential, retail, and hospitality projects along the way.
But now - I’m mixing things up.
Inspire and Indulge is my way of blending creativity, community, social connection, and a little bit of chaos – the good kind. It’s about making art, rediscovering forgotten skills, and celebrating that whatever you create is 100% uniquely you.
I bring the materials, the creative energy, and a whole lot of fun. And since it’s not really indulgence without great food and drinks – yes, we eat well too. You’ll be inspired and indulged. That’s the deal.
I’m also a big believer in living in the moment – travel, food, and beautiful experiences keep me grounded and lit up at the same time.
That’s what Inspire and Indulge is really about: making time to create, connect, and enjoy the ride.
