Who we are

Dawn Studio is passionate and dedicated to enhancing outdoor spaces for anyone who is interested in working with us. With a focus on creating beautiful, functional landscapes, we blend artistry with environmental responsibility.

Madison Rios, creator and lead designer of Dawn Studio, started her career in all sorts of different design fields. From Interior Design, Set Design, Interior Architecture, and more…she seemed to always find herself wishing she could be outside studying the plants and dreaming up yard spaces. She worked along side Architect, Xavier Beltran and Landscape Designer, Nancy Lyons before deciding to branch out on her own in early 2023. Since then, Dawn has blossomed into a business full of exciting projects and wonderful clients.

Dawn Studio incorporates native plants, eco-friendly practices, and drought-tolerant designs all while being practical to the clients vision. We want every project to harmonize with the surrounding environment.

We believe that a well-designed landscape can transform not only the aesthetics of a property but also improve the well-being of the people who use it. Dawn Studio values open communication and collaboration, ensuring that your vision becomes a reality. Our friendly team is here to guide you through the design process, making it enjoyable and inspiring every step of the way.

Dawn.

Madison was born and raised in Kansas. Her grandfather, Don, was a farmer his entire life. She takes so much inspiration from her Grandpa everyday, and never forgets how peaceful she felt at the farm.

This namesake will forever bring her a smile in loving memory of him.
