Kaycee Conallen Design Studio is a full-service interior design firm that transforms spaces from the foundation up. Featured in Martha Stewart and Best of Delco "Interior Design", Our goal is to make partnering with us the simplest, most confident decision you’ll make for your home. KCDS is both a working design practice and a physical storefront. A place to explore tactile design, vintage finds, and handcrafted pieces that turn a house into a home. We believe in creating layered spaces that evolve with the client, honoring form, function, and feeling. Every material is chosen with intention. Every detail tells a story.

I’m Brandi Oldham, the founder of Talent Career Coaching and Brandiwine Interior Design, two businesses built around one idea: you deserve to have a life that brings out the very best in you. Before I was a coach and designer, I was a rule follower. I climbed the corporate ladder, led teams in financial services and sports, and checked every box that was supposed to equal success. But somewhere between back-to-back meetings and “living the dream,” I realized I was living someone else’s. So I burned the rulebook and built a life that actually fits, and now, I help others do the same. Through Talent Career Coaching, I work with high-achieving professionals and barrier breakers who look successful on paper but feel stuck in practice. My clients are women, first-gen professionals, and leaders navigating imposter syndrome, burnout, and growth that feels heavier than it should. Together, we rebuild confidence, reconnect to purpose, and design careers that feel human again. My approach? Equal parts strategy, self-awareness, and straight talk, or, as my clients call it, “therapy for your career.” And because alignment shouldn’t stop at work, I also run Brandiwine Interior Design, where I help homeowners design spaces that reflect who they are, not just what’s trending. From remodel roadmaps to new builds, my goal is to take the overwhelm out of the process and replace it with clarity and calm. I’m the daughter of a truck driver and a grocery store worker, a first-gen professional who built two businesses from scratch, and a mom learning to juggle big dreams with nap schedules. I’m not interested in picture-perfect, I’m interested in real alignment: careers that matter, homes that feel good, and lives that make sense. When I’m not coaching or designing, you’ll find me volunteering with my therapy dog, chasing my toddler, or testing yet another Portland-area coffee shop. (Iced vanilla latte, always.) If you’re writing about modern career growth, burnout recovery, work-life alignment, or the intersection of design and intentionality - I’m your girl with the insights, the energy, and the story to tell!
