let's talk about your property 

our work

Opening Doors for 
AirBNB Investors 

You found the property, ran the numbers, and made the offer. Maybe you're under contract right now, or you just closed, and suddenly the reality of what comes next is setting in.

The renovation needs a direction. The contractor needs decisions made. The furniture needs to be sourced, ordered, and staged before your first guest checks in. And, you're supposed to do all of that from across the country, on top of everything else going on in your life.

This is where most investors either wing it and leave money on the table or hand it to the wrong person and spend months cleaning up the aftermath.

You didn't buy the property just to decorate it. You bought it to financially perform for the appreciation, the cash flow, and the tax advantage.

We design with both sides of the ledger in view; what makes sense to spend and what makes guests choose your listing over the one next door.

When a guest opens Airbnb, they're not searching for a house. They're searching for a destination. They want to experience a feeling they can't get at home. The properties that get booked first, booked the most often, and booked at higher rates are the ones that create anticipation the moment a guest sees the listing photo.

Every finish, every fixture, every furniture item is chosen with two questions in front of it, (1) does this earn its place in the budget, and (2) does this give the home a presence worth remembering? That's the balance between strategy and soul.
Our service is predicated on the same investment first thinking.

designed with purpose

I am a luxury Airbnb designer specializing in Sedona and Scottsdale, Arizona. Before I designed Airbnbs, I managed more than 20 properties across Scottsdale and Hawaii for over 3 years. For you, this means I've seen exactly what makes a listing book ahead, what earns five star reviews on repeat, and what quietly drains an owner's bottom line. I bring that operator's eye to every design decision.

I work with investors who want a design partner, not a decorator. I understand the spreadsheet and the styling because the home you bought deserves both.

Welcome, I'm Ava kate
