hello

My name is Dakota Sokoloski, and I am a fourth-year interior design student at Middle Tennessee State University pursuing my B.S. degree in Interior Design. Through my dedicated work ethic and passion for creativity, I bring innovative, unique, and effective solutions to every project.

I am originally from northern Minnesota and have always had a passion for design. Growing up in a family that primarily worked in senior living, I became interested in the senior living environment and started volunteering at a nearby nursing home. Besides having a passion for design, another passion emerged to care for people and inspired me to become a Certified Nursing Assitant. As much as I loved working in long-term communities, I felt something was missing and I started researching senior living interior design and knew it was time for a change. In the summer of 2018, I moved to Nashville TN, to pursue a degree in interior design.

I enjoy each part of the design process and the different challenges that each phase brings. Although the process is repeated for each project, it is always unique with each project bringing in new exciting opportunities. I believe each design should always start with the end user and how I can provide a better quality of life. My semi-perfectionist mentality stimulates my attention to detail but does not hinder my ability to make a bold design that creates a memorable experience.

Combining a desire to care for others and a passion for design, I strive to create spaces that elevate the human experience while enhancing a design to provide each individual with a better quality of life.
