Today we’d like to introduce you to Robby Perkins. Them and their team share their story with us below:
While at Savannah College of Art and Design Robby Perkins worked for Marc Jacobs, Int. After graduating with a BFA in Architecture, Perkins joined Daniel Reed Hospitality as Creative Director.
There Perkins’ major projects include various renovations at Local11ten including Perch rooftop bar & lounge, The Public Kitchen & Bar, Soho South, Artillery Bar, Franklin’s, a restaurant at Phipps Plaza in Buckhead, Atlanta and several private residences in Savannah, Georgia. Responsible for all forms of visual communication such as interior design, uniforms, branding, marketing, editorial, advertising, and packaging, Perkins works collaboratively with different departments across each Daniel Reed concept.
His diverse expertise in design and customer service help him craft design solutions that enhance the user experience by carefully considering the relationship between the environments he creates and the patrons that visit them. He believes that successful design is holistic and personal and always includes impeccable attention to detail with original thinking.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
For the last decade, Daniel Reed Hospitality has been in a period of steady expansion and growth. For myself that has meant little downtime! Since our group’s inception, I’ve been busy conceptualizing or building our next project. Then June 2020 a fire devastated The Public Kitchen & bar destroying much of the restaurant. That was just the beginning of a series of very unfortunate events for us. Suddenly, already in the middle of design/building our newest concept Franklin’s, I found myself rebuilding Public as well. All of this took place during Covid, of course. So, just when you think things can’t get any more complex: they do. Just when you’ve found your stride: things change. It has all been a lesson in staying light on your feet and being able to pivot and adapt!
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Daniel Reed Hospitality?
I am the Creative Director for Daniel Reed Hospitality which owns and operates five unique concepts in historic, downtown Savannah. Our group grew from a desire to elevate food and beverage concepts in our hometown.
How do you think about happiness?
Getting to do what I love in a town I love makes me happy. I love to travel, but coming back home to Savannah reminds me how appreciative I am for what our town has to offer. In a relatively short period of time, I have seen our small town grow a lot and we have the best of so many things here.
