We’ve been busy (in the best way).
There’s a lot happening over here at STAV — new work, new digs, new team, and a renewed sense of clarity about who we’re here for and what we’re building.
Let’s start with the work. Our portfolio is packed with new projects — from brand identities for hotels and retail startups to destination campaigns for towns we’re falling in love with. We’re helping CPG brands find their voice (and their shelf space), partnering with real estate teams to elevate their presence, and collaborating with founders who are focused on their dream and give a damn about design. If there’s a common thread, it’s this: our clients value their brands as much as we do.
We’ve also put down roots in a new studio space in Downtown Austin. We’re just a short walk from Clark’s, so if you want to talk shop — or just sip a martini and talk about your dreams — our door is open.

What we’re focused on:
-
- Tourism & communities — helping destinations tell their story with clarity and visual impact, reach their target audience creatively and effectively, drive economic development locally and celebrate their community with pride
- Hospitality & hotels — hotels, vacation rentals, restaurants, spas are not just places; they’re experiences, and we’re focused on making them memorable, shareable and special with strong storytelling and impactful details at every touchpoint.
- CPG & retail — from farmers-turned-founders to problem-solving entrepreneurs, we help turn ideas into beautiful brands by helping our clients find their vision, their voice, and their shelf space with everything from package design to trade-booth swag.
- Real estate & architecture — shaping thoughtful, place-based brands for realtors, brokerages, residential and commercial developments and architects. We design identities that feel authentic to the land, the lifestyle, design ethos, and the people who desire to dwell there.
- Publications & editorial — designing magazines, books, pitch decks, and reports that translate ideas into compelling, elevated storytelling. Whether print or digital, we bring structure, beauty, and clarity to every page.
- Design-savvy businesses — those who know that strategic, extraordinary design isn’t optional. It’s what sets you apart, and it’s what we do best.
Where we’re headed:
We’ve been at this since 2017, and every project sharpens our tools and skills. What we’ve learned and leaned into is that the best branding starts with real audience insight. Immersion. Curiosity. User personas. Moodboards. Brand books and guidelines so precise that our clients know exactly who they’re talking to, what they’re saying, how they’re saying it and where to meet them where they are. We go deep so that the work isn’t just beautiful, but right. That’s how we get to results our clients are proud of, and identities that actually inspire action. So whether you’ve got a big idea, a rebrand on the horizon, or you just want to chat over oysters — let’s connect.
