Dacotah Studio

My wife and I set out on a whole-home renovation over a year ago with a different design team who, as it turned out, was not the right fit. Tina and Shawn stepped in mid-project and truly rescued the process. What could have been an incredibly stressful experience became collaborative, creative, and genuinely enjoyable. They are exceptional listeners and thoughtful collaborators. From the beginning, they understood our goal: to honor the mid-century modern character of our home while bringing it forward in a way that felt fresh, functional, and contemporary. They struck that balance perfectly. Their design vision, attention to detail, and problem-solving ability were outstanding. The rendering capabilities were especially helpful — being able to visualize ideas made decision-making so mu

Dacotah Studio helped us reimagine and renovate our kitchen, kids’ bath, and parts of our hallway and dining room in 2022. We loved their work and vision, communication style, and of course the final product! Shawn and Tina are as lovely as they are talented and we recommend them to everyone we know. We had some setbacks as is common during the process, but they handled it perfectly and worked well with the GC and subcontractors. They are super organized and responsive, which we really appreciated, and we felt taken care of and on the same page at every step. We would love to work with them again!

Dacotah Studio turned our first home into our dream home. They helped us improve the flow, function, and style of our 100-year-old home, bringing expertise, optimism, and great taste from day one. We trusted them completely because they handled every detail and relationship with care. Renovations can be stressful, but they made the process smooth, and we’re grateful for the beautiful decisions they helped us make. We highly recommend them if you’re looking for true partners in your home project.

We worked with Shawn and Christina for a huge home renovation project that involved taking a 3 bed, 2 bath 2,000 sq ft Silverlake home down to the studs and rebuilding it back into something entirely different from the condition it was purchased in. It was our first renovation project and a huge investment for us so it was really important to have the right partner that brought an equal mix of design inspiration, project management and above all, lots of patience! Shawn and Christina bought all of this and more. From the very beginning Shawn and Christina were amazing partners, taking our crazy long inspiration deck and turning into a coherent design vision. They were in lock step with us every step of the way, designing the layout, creating the plans with the help of a draftsman, helping

We love the work Dacotah Studio did on our home remodel! Shawn and Tina came up with great plans and executed well. Very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend them!
