Michelin Rated | Hey Kiddo

The Vibe Moody lighting meets culinary artistry in Berkeley's most intimate dinner spot The Design Muted tones, brass accents, textured details that feel editorial The Menu Changes with the season, the sophisticated vibe never does. If Berkeley had a signature dinner spot, Hey Kiddo would be it. It's intimate but approachable, with designer details you notice even before the first sip of wine.

Plan ahead - you’ll need a reservation.

Design Tip of the Month | Vintage Meets Modern | Mix Eras Intentionally

Here's an underrated design move that transforms spaces instantly: bring in a single vintage piece with serious character. A sculptural lamp casting warm shadows, a Danish teak sideboard with that perfect patina, or a mid-century chair that's seen decades of good living. These pieces make an otherwise new build feel rooted, layered, and genuinely personal. The goal isn't perfection it's patina, that subtle sense that a space evolved organically rather than being staged overnight. Where to start: Swing by Mid Mod Mall for curated vintage finds. One statement piece can completely transform the feel (and photos) of a room.

From My Desk

This fall has been about alignment. Slowing down + enjoying my time with my clients, friends, + family. Finding alignment in creative projects, and homes that feel like they were meant for their next chapters. Every transaction tells a story, and I'm grateful to help write these next chapters with people who value design, intention, and thoughtful living.

Denver's market continues to reward the things I'll always lead with: prep, pricing + presentation. Putting time, energy
+ intention into your home before it greets its new owners pays off. Myself and my team are here to help you not do more, but to do what matters most in achieving your real estate goals.

As we head into the holiday season, I'm reflecting on this year's growth and looking forward to what's ahead!

Here's to homes that feel right, neighborhoods that inspire, and a city that keeps surprising us.

Thank you for all your love + support.

See you on Tennyson,
