About The Candor House

Candor House was born from experience—years of building brands from the inside, managing fast-moving creative teams, and knowing firsthand what makes a project thrive or fall apart. 

Our founder, Lauren Toledo, spent over a decade inside some of the beauty and fashion industry’s most recognizable names—La Mer, Victoria’s Secret, BareMinerals, and more—leading teams, launching campaigns, and solving for the pressure points of creative work. What she saw, again and again, was a gap: agencies that didn’t quite get it, talent that wasn’t the right fit, and a system that often failed both the client and the candidate.

Candor House was created to do better.
For the brands who need someone who just gets it—someone who can match pace and taste without translation. And for the creative professionals who deserve more than a gig—they deserve support, clarity, and care.

We operate with intention, build relationships that last, and place talent with an instinctive understanding of culture, chemistry, and impact.

This is a house built on candor—forging teams that don’t just function, but flourish.
