Starr Design

Starr Design we help emerging restaurant concepts define & design their brand to build lasting value We design branded environments that work. It plays on the senses. We live.

We create the all-important touch point, the physical interaction between people and brands. We believe in simplicity, clarity & purpose. We also believe in the tilted head, the smile of surprise that comes when something simply is right. It feels good. It’s engaging & surprising. For we know that great design is directed at the heart more than at the brain. Here, we open our minds & hearts to the

best idea. Our egos are left behind, and we embrace each moment, the here and now. The idea brimming with optimism & creativity. We understand that brands live lives. Some are babies, some are young adults & some are on life support. We believe in collaboration, in guiding the design journey to create an experience out of every environment. We know that when all is said & done, our work will be judged by the answer to this simple question: Does it strengthen the brand? We believe in investing ourselves in every project. We infuse a sense of our personalities into everything we touch, & allow our hearts to show through. We are all in. We become fully immersed & our clients become our partners and friends. Here, “I” is a 4-letter word. Here, respect for one another goes far beyond mere manners. Here, we know that good ideas are not constrained by titles or job descriptions. We are a team. We embrace creativity & originality by embracing one another. We learn. We listen. We love. We lead. We design.

starrdesign out on the town!

Last night we escaped the office and headed uptown for a night of dinner, art, and culture. We stopped by our old stomping ground before heading to the Mint Museum to support our CFO Ann J Travis Art and see her beautiful artwork! 🖼️



The amazing artists of the Guild of Charlotte Artists, featuring our very own Artsy Ann!

Ann’s gorgeous work, Blue Poppies 💐

We had such a fun time together getting the chance to talk and hang out outside of the office. We especially enjoyed Julia’s expert art commentary!
