About Our Team

Hey there!

Welcome to Creative Zebra Press, a publishing company that produces books to help spark your imagination and take your creativity to the next level.

Candice Ricketts M.A., CPC

I’m Candice. a certified life coach, former college professor, and a mum who homeschooled two kids since 1st and 3rd grade. I’m thrilled to say both of my kids are now in college and doing very well.

Together we founded Creative Zebra Press. My kids and I know how important creativity is to becoming not just happy, but also successful. Creativity is extremely important to problem solving and the ability to generate ideas for so many things. People in every industry are faced with challenges that require creative solutions, so strengthening your creativity is a guaranteed advantage in life.

Nicholas Veletsos

This is Nicholas. After graduating high school last year, he was accepted at the only university he applied to. He currently studies communications, but like many other creative people he has lots of interests, so that might change in the future.

During our time learning at home, I emphasized the importance of being able to write well. I’m proud to say that Nicholas’s first ever college essay was the best one his college professor received for that assignment. He asked Nicholas if it would be okay to nominate it for the college’s undergraduate research journal.

When he’s not studying and working for Creative Zebra Press, Nicholas is playing D&D, hanging out with friends or writing. Nicholas also loves to travel, explore new places and meet new people.

Natalie is also a college student. She is passionate about animals, playing games online with friends and eating ice cream. She has a great sense of humor, enjoys shopping with her friends and she loves to travel.

Natalie is an excellent writer and is very disciplined when it comes to grammar so she is responsible for editing our workbooks. She’s not sure what she wants to major in yet, but it will probably be something in the creative arts.
