about the founder

Kandy Johnson is a Los Angeles based creative & experiential producer who has spent the last decade amplifying stories and connecting people through live events and digital media.

despite a career that brings people together, staying connected in her own life felt exhausting.

PRESENT IRL came from something personal:
Wanting a simpler way to stay connected, separate from the overstimulation of social media and groups chats.

designed as A dedicated space where plans don’t get lost and connection doesn’t compete. PRESENT IRL makes it easier to share real life moments together.
