Branding & design studio based in Portland, OR

Kristen and Kenny met while working in the design department for Modern Times, a San Diego-based brewery and roastery. With highly complimentary skillsets, they melded into a formidable team and quickly worked their way into leadership roles within the department. They found themselves at the helm of incredibly ambitious projects where they had the creative freedom to crank their love for color, boldness, and beautiful aesthetics to eleven.

After working through the pandemic and ensuing challenges for the food and beverage industry, they realized that there’s no telling what tomorrow looks like. Why not take big risks for a big dream? Why not use the incredibly powerful skillsets they developed to design for more than just one brand? Thus, StarKeep Studio was born.

They left their full-time positions in search of exciting new design adventures where they could help more people and businesses harness the power of great design. Years of experience at a highly creative, multi-million dollar company taught them an important lesson: the talent and imagination of each individual is as unique and powerful as the stars, and when we learn to focus that power, magic happens.
