STARability Foundation is proud to announce an exciting new opportunity to support its mission through the STAR Studio with the launch of its comprehensive new Lookbook and the expansion of retail partnerships throughout Southwest Florida.

The STAR Studio, part of STARability’s Social Enterprise program, empowers individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities through meaningful work, creativity and community engagement. Building on the momentum of recent community support and growing visibility, the Studio’s new Lookbook offers an inspiring and accessible way for individuals and businesses to explore its participant-made products and partnership opportunities.

Designed to showcase the breadth of the Studio’s work, the Lookbook features a curated collection of handcrafted gifts created entirely by STARability participants and options for custom collaborations, along with opportunities to support the organization. From candles and home goods to unique keepsakes, each product is thoughtfully illustrated, crafted and packaged by STAR artists and artisans of all abilities.

“The Lookbook makes it easier than ever to share the story and impact behind every product we create,” said Cayla Childs, director of social enterprise at STARability Foundation. “Each order placed through the Lookbook supports meaningful employment, skill-building and confidence for our participants, while also allowing our community to give with purpose.”

The Lookbook also highlights a variety of partnership opportunities, including custom retail products, client appreciation and corporate gifting, holiday gifts for staff, vendors and partners, event favors and table settings, and more.

As STARability’s social enterprise, the STAR Studio serves more than 100 participants through paid employment, internships, vocational training, volunteer opportunities and creative classes. Every purchase directly supports STARability’s innovative programming, helping individuals build independence, confidence and real-world job skills.

In addition to the Lookbook launch, the STAR Studio is proud to announce new retail partnerships that expand access to its products across Naples, including:

- AC Hotel Naples 5th Avenue by Marriott – Featuring the Studio’s signature Naples candle in its gift shop, along with a custom candle created exclusively for the hotel’s Limón Rooftop Bar.

- Pier 37 Gifts at Tin City – Now carrying the Studio’s Souvenir Collection candles, including a Tin City-exclusive design, Naples candles and handcrafted decoupage scallop trinket dishes.

These partnerships not only increase visibility for STARability’s mission but also create additional opportunities for participants to gain hands-on production and retail experience. Community members and businesses are encouraged to explore the new Lookbook and discover meaningful ways to collaborate with the STAR Studio.
