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.

🐾 May is National Pet Month, so we’re introducing the unofficial office mascots—dogs, cats, and one very seasoned bird!

From keeping us company in the office to greeting us at the door after long days, we’re lucky to have them by our side through it all.

A very good reason for a team lunch ⭐️

Yesterday, we stepped away from our desks to celebrate Krista and Julia’s one-year anniversary with starrdesign. A great excuse to gather, laugh, and appreciate two people who make our team better every day!

📱 In Episode 10 of Restaurants Redefined, we’re closing out the series with a conversation on where technology fits in the future of full-service restaurants, featuring special guest Larry Reinstein.

Some things are sticking—smarter reservations, kitchen automation, seamless payments. Others? Not so much.

Because at the end of the day, technology should support the experience—not replace it.⭐️

🪑 In Episode 9 of Restaurants Redefined, we’re asking a simple question: why do some tables feel better than others?

The answer is dining psychology. Guests naturally look for a sense of “anchoring,” which is why booths, banquettes, grouped tables, and even high tops near busy aisles can make a seat feel more comfortable.

Sometimes the difference between a good table and a great one is just smart design. 👏

Congratulations to Ideal Company, Inc., on being named Vendor of the Year at Firebirds Wood Fired Grill’s 2026 Internal Leadership Conference in Napa, CA. 👏

This recognition is well deserved and confirms what we already know: they’ve stepped up in a major way to help us facilitate Firebirds’ growth and development.

But the best part? After accepting the award, they turned to our team and said, “This is for all of us.”

Here’s to shared wins, strong teams, and building what’s next together 🛠️

A legendary “Steve” moment 🔥

At Firebirds Wood Fired Grill’s 2026 Leadership Conference, a long-running inside joke took center stage — honoring all the “Steves” who have made an impact on the brand.

And one of them? Our very own Steve Starr — the only non-Firebirds team member recognized alongside their executive leadership.

For over 20 years, this partnership has been about more than design — it’s about being truly embedded in our clients’ story. This moment made that clearer than ever.

While Steve couldn’t attend, our team made sure his jersey made it home 🏈

Here’s to partnerships that go beyond projects. 🔥

🍽️ In Episode 8 of Restaurants Redefined, we’re rethinking the dining room with something called micro-social dining.

Instead of one big, open room, the goal is to create a collection of smaller experiences within it — booths, banquettes, high tops, bar seats, and cozy window tables.

More variety. More comfort. ✨

Here’s to the women of StarrDesign—making history in real time! 💪✨
