Real Estate · Travel · Wine
A career spent connecting people to things they'll genuinely love — through wine, real estate, and travel. Different industries, same instinct.
"I've never believed in formula. The most interesting work always lives in the nuance."
— Ingrid Cheng, MBA
Each practice is distinct. All three draw on the same core instinct — understanding what someone truly wants, and finding the exact thing that delivers it. Rarely the obvious answer. Always the right one.
I was the person who went to open houses in my neighborhood just because I loved the spaces — long before I became an agent. Now I help people find their nook in one of the world's most layered, livable cities. Whether you're buying your first home or reimagining what a space could become, I'm here to help you craft something that fits your life — not just your budget.
I've been planning dream itineraries — for myself, for friends, for the joy of it — my entire adult life. Now I do it for clients. I'm good at reading how much structure a trip needs and building exactly that: the restaurant you wouldn't have found, the producer who pours you something unreleased, the right amount of planned free time. Italy, France, Spain, Japan, and beyond.
I spent years managing $9M+ media budgets for some of the industry's most recognized names. What I bring to smaller and growth-stage brands is that same rigor — applied with the flexibility and creative hunger that only works at a more human scale. I don't apply a formula. I find the approach that actually fits.

I have a love of learning and solving problems — and the two are inseparable for me. Whether I'm helping a buyer find their place in San Francisco, designing a trip, or building a media strategy for a wine brand, the work is always the same: understanding what someone needs, what they want, and where the right balance lives.
The options that don't quite fit don't get forgotten. They go into the knowledge base — held in reserve, ready for the moment the variables change. That's how expertise actually builds. And it's why the right answer, when you find it, tends to stay right.
Whether you're a wine or spirits brand looking for a marketing partner who actually knows the category, a buyer ready to find your place in San Francisco, or a traveler who wants someone to obsess over the details so you don't have to — I'd love to hear from you.
