Early life

Chayse Dacoda was born in New Jersey[6] and studied economics at both Michigan State University as well as University of Pennsylvania.

Career

Early career

Dacoda credits screenwriting professor Jim Cash (who famously wrote Top Gun)[7] at an early alma mater - Michigan State University[8] - for her move to Los Angeles with a feature film treatment in hand that she had written while she was still studying economics in college.

After college, instead of keeping the job at a trading desk in Philadelphia trading municipal bonds - Dacoda was inspired to move west to California for a writing career - and as a back up plan and a day job - launched into the Southern California real estate market. She quickly acquired a real estate license - and shortly after - started designing and transforming homes for clients.

While getting her real estate chops she also got her feet wet studying with The Groundlings, doing stand up comedy at The Laugh Factory, and hosting for channels and clients such as FX, Comcast, and MTV.

Interior design

Chayse Dacoda established Dacoda Design[9] - a design and lifestyle firm in 1998 to consult and design projects both residential and commercial in North America. Her work has been dominantly focused on both the west and east coasts of United States - with offices in New York and Beverly Hills.

Some notable projects have been The Roosevelt Lofts, a home in the Urban Glass House in Tribeca, New York, VIP space for The Billboard Music Awards in Vegas, multiple Engel & Volkers Southern California Real Estate Offices, and multiple residential dwellings for clients around the country. Dacoda has been published in The Washington Post,[10] Woman's Day Magazine, Grace Ormonde Weddings and People Magazine, among others (future link). She has appeared on the Today Show as an expert in Interior Design.[11] In 2009 she started designing products for the mass market to include a line of rugs for Jaipur Rugs.[12]

Dacoda has also judged and designed a Residential Home Curb Appeal Makeover Contest[13][14] for several years for Clopay Garage Doors, and was published on the topic of curb appeal.[15][16] She has also done Satellite Media Tours for Tarkett Flooring.[17]

Television

In addition to early comedy work including improvisation, stand-up comedy and various hosting jobs - Dacoda's design path and television career found her cast in a TV show where she did surprise design makeovers for TLC's popular show While You Were Out, which was nominated for an emmy.[18] She was rumored to be involved with the carpenter Andrew Dan-Jumbo - though the two were just good friends. In the 4 seasons While You Were Out was on TLC, she completed over 70 episodes - becoming known for the ‘on-the-fly’ designs that were added in Season 3, where the designer would have no previous knowledge of the space they were designing prior to arriving a day before the renovation began.[19]

She also hosted and designed two seasons for HGTV's Get It Together;[20][21] a show that emphasized merging two divergent people's design tastes[22] so they could live harmoniously under one roof. Dacoda also occasionally guest-hosted on NBC's show Open House.

gollark: I have 34Mbps up, 8Mbps down, which is not ideal but usable.
gollark: Some people don't even have a publicly routable IP.
gollark: Also CGNAT now.
gollark: Like I said, it's not really very hard to do that (at least at a small scale, making stuff run with the volume of data Facebook deals with is a different issue), the hurdles are more, er, social and possibly legal.
gollark: The average person really does not want to do anything remotely complicated with a computer, which is problematic, and it doesn't really *help* that a bunch of stuff (down to the balance of upload/download speeds available on home network connections) on the internet is set up now to encourage using big walled gardens and discourage running your own stuff.
