ABOUT us

Kennedy Studio is a Santa Barbara–based interior design firm specializing in high-end renovations and custom residential projects. Founded by husband-and-wife team Stephanie and Dan Kennedy, the studio blends thoughtful design, curated materials, and refined project execution to create spaces that feel both elevated and deeply personal.

Dan and Stephanie met in Santa Barbara shortly after Dan graduated from UCSB. While Dan went on to pursue an extensive career in Major League Soccer, he also began investing in real estate—a passion that grew into a second career. After completing his MBA at USC, Dan co-founded Driven Capital Partners, a real estate investment firm, bringing sharp insight into the residential market, project management, and long-term property value.

Stephanie spent over a decade in the fashion industry, leading the merchandising team at REVOLVE, where she developed a sharp eye for detail, textiles, form, and the art of storytelling through materials. After stepping away from her corporate career, Kennedy Studio was born—fueled by her love of architecture, layered interiors, and the beauty of mixing new and found pieces to create spaces that feel personal, eclectic and lived in.

Together, they bring a balanced perspective to every project—strategic, creative, and rooted in a shared appreciation for design that endures. Kennedy Studio is focused on custom renovations in the Santa Barbara area, honoring original architecture while reimagining spaces with timeless, modern elements and warmth.
