A designer’s training. A native’s knowledge of Denver.

Kim is the daughter of an award-winning interior designer and a Realtor®. Growing up between those two professions, she learned early about construction, about design, and about the less tangible things that make a house feel like home.

After earning a business degree in small business management and marketing from the University of Colorado Boulder, Kim spent more than twenty years running her own interior design firm, Specs Interior Design. Her projects took her into homes throughout Denver, Aspen, Vail, Summit County and Hawaii.

Residential design at that level happens inside renovations, alongside builders and trades, with real budgets and timelines. It is a long education in reading a house closely.

Kim’s design experience shows up in practical ways. Buyers get someone who can see past dated finishes to good bones — or past fresh paint to a real problem — and who can estimate what a change might involve. Sellers get advice on which improvements are worth making before listing, and how to present the home so it photographs and shows at its best.

Whether a client is buying, selling or renovating, the aim is the same: see the potential, identify the red flags early and protect the value of the home.

Kim knows Denver the way only someone who grew up here can — its neighborhoods, its parks and the particular character of each part of town. She works from Compass’s Cherry Creek office and guides clients through every step: finding the right home, attracting the right buyer, and moving confidently into what comes next.
