David moved to Charleston from New York over 30 years ago and has been embedded in the hospitality industry in the South East ever since. First as a consultant on projects such as Peninsula Grill and Hanks and then as a partner and developer in a variety of concepts ranging from casual (Poe’s, Taco Boy, Coast) to upscale casual and fine dining (21 Greenpoint NYC, Maya, Brasserie la Banque). Concept development, restaurant acumen, design and project management are key traits of David’s approach to each project.
New York native with 10 years of Charleston residency that has afforded valuable experience in our local hospitality industry. From operations and management, concept development and design, to thorough market research and understanding of the dynamic local and national culinary trends. Trevor’s work ethic, deep understanding of both the business and nuanced intimacies of this industry make him a key team member of The Restaurant Studio.
Natalie is a graphic designer with a background in brand research and visual strategy. Her passion lies in hospitality branding and packaging, bringing cohesion to chaos, and building brands through storytelling. She has a keen eye for detail and her work is known for its thoughtful simplicity and playful minimalism. As a recent Charleston transplant, her West Coast roots offer a bright and fresh perspective.
