Introduction and portfolio of recent design and marketing by Candy, the creative services agency of Michael Lachowski.

2. Candy is an ad agency in
Athens, Georgia, founded and
operated by Michael Lachowski
in 1996 to meet two needs:
an outlet for Michael to apply
his visual and communication
skills in the marketplace, and
a vehicle to offer modern and
genuine marketing solutions to
businesses. Serving everything
from small entrepreneurial
startups to governmental
agencies, Candy has proven
over time that its images and
messages are strong, viable,
effective, affordable, original
– and popular with clients and
audiences alike.

4. A quick overview:
Michael Lachowski graduated
from UGA in art photography
where he also studied graphic
design, print making, installation
art, drawing, color and film. He
is an artist, photographer, the
bass player in Pylon, a DJ, and
a member of Athens Design
Development.
Candy has been a creative
services agency since 1996, with

All of these interests and
experiences inform and enhance
