Sunforged came together from a shared approach to real estate rooted in care. Both of us forged our paths with an uncompromising client-first approach, honoring their goals and intentions.

With experience across the Valley, spanning historic neighborhoods, luxury listings, interior design, real estate development, and hospitality, Sunforged reflects a belief that real estate should feel thoughtful, steady, and confident with every step.

We’re grateful for our community and clients who trusted us long before Sunforged had a name.

AFTERNOON AT THE BODEGA: A Tea and Ikebana Experience hosted by @amywilliamsdesign

Inside a once-derelict bodega, now reimagined and restored with intention, guests are invited to spend an intimate afternoon centered on tea, flowers, and creative process. Hosted by interior designer Amy Williams in her studio, The Bodega, this intimate gathering offers a rare opportunity to engage with design in a way that’s rooted in presence and simplicity.

The experience begins with a curated tea tasting led by Tea Sommelier, @jorge.rizo. Guests will explore the history and ritual behind two grounding Asian teas, served in hand-thrown ceramic cups by local artist @bettinachowpottery. Earthy and sculptural, each cup and vessel is a tactile reflection of Bettina’s quiet, refined approach to form and function.

Following tea, guests will be invited into the contemplative practice of ikebana, the Japanese practice of floral arranging, led by Anya Karamalak of @afika.studio. This is not a class in florals, but an invitation to slow down, connect and observe with seasonality and simplicity. After a brief meditation, participants will create their own minimal floral compositions with a focus on gesture and intention.

Each guest will leave with their ceramic tea cups, ikebana vessel and floral arrangement and a lasting reminder of the afternoon’s quiet beauty. 

SOLD OUT - we’re working on adding more seats or another session! You can join our ‼️WAITLIST‼️ on the event’s website and we’ll notify you as soon as we have more details. Priority will be given to those on the wait list.

Tickets: DesertDesignWeek.com

We’re delighted to welcome Amy Williams to DDW. Founder and Principal of @amywilliamsdesign, Amy brings a thoughtful, layered perspective to every project. Her philosophy is to shape interiors that restore, reflect, and feel profoundly personal. Every project aims to foster a deep connection for both those who live or work in the space and those who visit. Her approach remains sensitive to both reverence for existing architecture and nuances of the natural world around it.

This October, Amy will be hosting a special experience that embodies her philosophy of slowing down and finding meaning in the details. We’ll share more soon, but trust us—it’s one you won’t want to miss.

Warm tones in this double height ceiling room.

Last week I had the opportunity to speak about interior design with some aspiring designers/the toughest critics (9-12 year olds) at Taliesin West. We talked about individuality, what inspires us, mistakes we have made and I even gave them an opportunity to roast my designs. Sometimes we learn more from children than we can even teach them.
