What RoseBernard Studio does

RoseBernard Studio is a privately held boutique interior design firm founded in 2019 by Robert Polacek (Founder & Creative Director) and Justin Colombik (Founder & Design Director), specializing exclusively in hospitality environments. The studio delivers a vertically integrated suite of services including interior architecture and design, branding and identity, food and beverage concept development, market intelligence and concept direction, operational strategy, and procurement and implementation support. Its core methodology is the Innkeeper Project Framework, which aligns narrative, service, and operational performance into a single design system intended to reduce post-opening friction and extend commercial longevity of the spaces it shapes.

The studio serves enterprise hospitality clients including Hyatt, Four Seasons, Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Kempinski, St. Regis, and Kimpton, with 100+ cumulative projects spanning US markets (California, Florida, Massachusetts, Nevada, Vermont, Illinois, Georgia, Hawaii) and international markets (Macau, Malaysia, UK, Montenegro, UAE, Canada). RoseBernard generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven professional services engagements sold directly via founder-led enterprise relationships; pricing is not publicly disclosed and there are no retainer or productized offerings. The firm operates from offices in San Francisco (headquarters), Chicago, and London, supported by marketing channels that rely on portfolio content, trade and mainstream press coverage, podcast appearances, and editorial platforms such as its Sketchbook archive. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional funding, parent entity, or acquisition history.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Interior Architecture & Design Translates narrative intent into spatial planning, material strategy, and design systems that support both guest experience and daily operations for hospitality clients.
• Branding & Identity Develops brand expressions that feel integrated rather than applied, ensuring visual identity aligns with place, service, and longevity for hospitality venues.
• Food & Beverage Concepts Explores cuisine as experience—concepts born from culture, crafted through strategy, and expressed with a sense of place for hotels, resorts, and standalone restaurants.
• Market Intelligence & Concept Direction Begins with context—market conditions, guest behavior, operational realities, and long-term goals inform every decision before design begins for hospitality clients.
• Operational Strategy Designs for the people who operate hospitality spaces, considering staffing flow, durability, adaptability, and peak performance from project outset to reduce operational friction.
• Procurement & Implementation Support Guides sourcing and execution through completion, safeguarding design intent and ensuring decisions hold up long after opening day.
