About
Shelley Starr Design
A Boutique Design House Where Design, Development, and Craftsmanship Converge
My goal is to create homes that function beautifully, age gracefully, and become more meaningful over time. Homes that feel collected rather than decorated, personal rather than prescribed, and luxurious without ever trying too hard.
Shelley Starr Luxury Residential Designer & Developer
Founded in 2010 by Shelley – SSD became a multidisciplinary boutique design house now based in Newport Beach, CA.
I approach every project with an owner’s mindset.
Having served as both designer and developer, I understand that exceptional homes require more than creative vision. They require leadership, accountability, and thousands of thoughtful
decisions executed correctly over months and years.
I accept only one major residential project each year, allowing me to become deeply involved in every aspect of the process. My clients receive my full attention, direct access, and an unwavering commitment to protecting both the integrity of the design and the value of their investment.
I believe luxury is not about excess. It is about thoughtful decisions, exceptional execution, and creating a home that feels uniquely personal, effortlessly livable, and enduring for generations.
