Tandem

Tandem is a Las Vegas-based interior design firm co-founded in 2005 by Kimberly Daoust, a licensed and registered interior designer who serves as the studio's Principal and creative visionary. The firm specializes in casino, hospitality, and restaurant design projects, working directly with clients to translate their vision and philosophy into built spaces. Daoust brings more than 20 years of industry experience and has secured high-profile relationships across the gaming and resort sector, including MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment, Stations Casinos, Boyd Gaming, Palms Casino Resort, Hard Rock International, and Monarch Casinos & Resorts.

Services span the full arc of a hospitality project: concept design, interior design, branding, and space planning, followed by furniture and lighting design, CAD documentation, illustration in both 3D and hand-rendered formats, and procurement services. This range allows Tandem to move a casino, resort, or restaurant project from early concept sketches through to sourced furnishings and final documentation without handing off between separate vendors.

The studio's approach centers on hands-on collaboration with clients, a philosophy reflected in its name and framed around design as something produced by minds working together rather than in isolation. Given its client roster of major gaming and resort operators, Tandem's work concentrates on large-scale hospitality environments where branding and interior design have to align with an operator's broader property strategy, from casino floors and resort common areas to restaurant concepts developed under Daoust's direction.
