Background

About Daniel Starr

I've always been driven to engage challenges and solve problems through critical and creative processes. I guide ideas to have an impact through focused process direction and management. Growing up in an architecture and construction household and then focusing my education on art and business nourished a strong balance of right and left brain thinking. This helped me develop a unique perspective and ability to take projects from concept to fruition. Throughout my career, I have been involved in designing all types of traditional graphic communications and found my niche in Environmental Graphic Design (EGD), the development experiences within built environments. Currently, I'm part of a team that oversees the Wayfinding and Signage at NYU Langone Health Systems. Until 2016, I spent 6 years leading and developing strategy at a boutique design agency for luxury cosmetics, Grade A Design. Previous to that, I had established my own design studio, pabulum design llc. Positioning it as a turn-key design provider, a design partner to manufacturers/fabricators and consultancy resource to other designers in need of specific deliverables for their clients. Specialties: • Master Signage Planning • Management of master plan execution • Development of directional and wayfinding systems • Project coordination/management • Traditional graphic design, branding, strategy & communication • In-depth understanding of fabrication processes & materials • Extensive knowledge of environmentally responsible materials • Retail merchandising and branding design
