Elisabeth has been creating beautiful kitchens in Colorado for more than 20 years. After obtaining a Fine Arts Degree in Interior Design in 1993, she took an internship at a small kitchen design firm in Denver. She quickly learned that she had an absolute passion for high-end kitchen design, and began to search for the perfect outlet for her abilities.

She found Kitchen Distributors in 1996, and has been fulfilling her dreams – and her client’s – ever since. Elisabeth is committed to creating spaces that reflect her client’s personalities and compliment their style, and to making the process as joyful as possible. As a senior designer at Kd, Elisabeth’s work is continually featured in local and national publications – including Colorado Homes & lifestyles, Great American Kitchens, and Luxe Magazine – and has been honored in local home shows and contests. Her projects span a wide range of styles, from classic to contemporary.

Originally from Michigan, Sarah started her career in 1996 working for Home Depot while earning her Interior Design degree at Baker College. Her time there was diverse, learning all the materials and products hands on, interacting with builders and tradesmen, as well as all levels of homeowners. She believes this helped give her a great base of knowledge and perspective to approach a career in Kitchen and Bathroom design. She earned her CKD and CBD certifications from the National Kitchen and Bath Association in 2006 while working for a luxury kitchen design build remodeling firm in the bay area of California. After 13 years with the company and many NKBA award winning projects, she decided to relocate to Colorado and further her career in the exciting and challenging Rocky Mountain market. 

A long time sailor and world traveler, Sarah takes inspiration from her past experiences and loves to look at things from a different perspective. She knows that a project’s design needs to be something special, with well thought out details, architectural presence, and a personality that is unique to each client. She loves the process of creating something physical and that in the end, her clients get to share and enjoy the space for years to come. 

With more than three decades of kitchen design experience, Linda brings the skills necessary to transform her clients’ dreams into reality. Having been raised in Colorado by parents who fixed and flipped homes (before the concept had a slogan), Linda found that she could easily spot the potential of any space. After earning a degree in business from Western State University, she spent time in Arizona and California perfecting her craft. She rose from bookkeeper to lead designer to Vice President in her first employment and continues to rise to the top in her field.

Linda’s expertise in spatial planning—combined with vast product knowledge, acute attention to detail, and strong emphasis on craftsmanship—has allowed her to create award-winning designs that transcend the test of time. She recognizes each project as unique and caters her designs to the needs and vision of her clients. As a result, Linda has been widely published and has spread her creativity both nationally and internationally.

When Linda isn’t elbow deep in her work, she makes time to share with family and friends: enjoying live music, hiking, skiing and, with the help of her husband, maintaining a historic home in the mountains where she was raised.

An outgoing and insightful problem-solver, William believes in balancing logic and creativity to find innovative solutions to challenges of all kinds.

In the 1980’s, he launched Feastable Catering in Texas, and opened a nouveau cuisine restaurant, The Secret Garden, in Camden, Maine.

Today, as Designer and showroom Director at bulthaup Denver, William “lives” the classic Bauhuas design motto: unity between art and technology. He is inspired by the timeless architecture of Walter Gropius, Georg Muche and Frank Lloyd Wright. His award-winning work has been featured in numerous local, national, and international publications, including Modern in Denver, Colorado Homes & Lifestyles, Luxe, and Trends Magazines.

As a senior designer at bulthaup Denver, Jed MacKenzie is following a lifelong passion for art and design. He finds inspiration daily, and draws upon his European travels for design cues. Jed studied at Fort Lewis College, where he majored in business administration and minored in art. His work has been featured in numerous local, national, and international publications, including Colorado Homes & Lifestyles, Luxe, Modern In Denver, and Trends magazines.

Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe said, “Less is more.” Robert Venturi said, “Less is a bore.” Jed’s design philosophy is that form follows function, but that it isn’t defined by it. He sees challenging spaces as opportunities to encourage creativity, and likes to create focal points to draw the eye in, while maintaining balance and proportion. Jed imagines his client in the space, and visualizes the experiences that will happen there – His goal is to realize a client’s vision and exceed their expectations with innovative solutions that inspire them.

At a young age, Carolyn discovered a floor plan in a home and garden magazine and promptly began marking it up with notes and lines showing what she loved about the space and what she would change. Carolyn continued to go through life observing people interacting with the spaces around them and how the built environment shapes the way people move, work, and live. This passion for design led Carolyn to study and earn her BA in interior design from Seattle Pacific University.

After graduating, Carolyn took off on the adventure of a lifetime to live and work in Europe. The years spent abroad helped her gain a deep-seated appreciation for designing with clean-lines, the Bauhaus style, and German-engineering. These same appreciations are what brought her to bulthaup and Kitchen Distributors.

As a Colorado native, Carolyn gets inspiration from the world that surrounds us, and she enjoys almost any activity outside including skiing, cycling, kayaking, soccer, and running. She also takes great pride in listening to clients’ needs and desires for their kitchens to create beautiful spaces to fit their life-style. Design challenges are like the ultimate puzzle for her, and she looks forward to helping you put together all the perfect pieces for your new kitchen and other interiors.

Morgan grew up in New England, split between suburban Boston during the school year, and the coast of Connecticut during the summer. He moved west for college, receiving a bachelor’s degree in Marketing from the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business. When asked why he wanted to work with kitchens, he said, “The kitchen has always been my favorite part of the house. Growing up with two brothers, the kitchen was the center of our household. It is the heart of your home, and I have always been drawn to that.”

As Director of Marketing, Morgan is responsible for the implementation and management of the company’s strategic marketing plan and stewardship of the company’s brand within the competitive kitchen design industry. His new perspective will help to keep Kitchen Distributors on the cutting edge, and help continue the Hartman family legacy of excellence in service and kitchen design.
