Background

About Candace Broach

Matriculating Graduate Student | Interior Architecture & Design | Former Communications Executive | Storytelling Through Space & Design I am a matriculating graduate student earning a Master of Science in Interior Architecture and Design at Drexel University, bringing a unique background in corporate communications to the world of design. My expertise in storytelling, strategic thinking, and audience engagement informs my approach to creating culturally responsive and emotionally resonant spaces. Before pivoting to design, I was an accomplished communications professional, delivering reputation-shifting strategies and advising senior executives at multinational companies. My experience in digital media, content creation, and video production honed my ability to translate complex narratives into impactful experiences—an approach I now apply to spatial storytelling and human-centered design. I am proficient in industry-standard design tools, including Revit, Rhinoceros, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. My background in executive visibility, leadership communications, and team collaboration shapes my approach to design, where effective storytelling and clear communication are essential. I am particularly interested in the intersection of cultural identity, memory, and sensory design, exploring how space can evoke emotion, facilitate connection, and promote well-being.
