Studio Contento is a multidisciplinary design collaboration founded by partners Lindsey Sherman Contento and Michael Contento, rooted in Los Angeles with experience around the world. The studio is driven by a relentless curiosity and the belief that design is an opportunity for experimentation – thoughtful exploration grounded in deep narrative, meticulous craft, and a playful spirit. As such, the studio pursues distinctive and holistic design solutions tailored to each individual project, shaping our spaces, neighborhoods, and communities. Each project is a partnership with our clients – a thorough understanding of their goals and expectations that creates a strong foundation and path to successful projects.

While Lindsey and Michael are based in Los Angeles, their uncommon path and unique experience have taken them around the world – living, working, and teaching together in Europe, South America, and Asia. During that time, in addition to their built work, they also published research, developed design exhibitions, delivered lectures, and collaborated with an extensive group of firms, universities, and municipalities. Following this work, they both served as Principals in different Los Angeles based firms, where they led design teams on a broad and diverse range of project types and scales. They bring this unique and robust background to all their work and use it to build on their practice at Studio Contento – a firm driven by the transformative power of design, collaboration, and engagement.
