The screen opens to a slice of desert light: the jagged silhouette of Camelback Mountain backlit by late-afternoon sun, palo verde branches sketching shadows across the patio. On the other end of a 15‑minute Zoom call, a local curator listens — what you like to eat, how far you’ll hike, whether mornings are for silence or coffee shops. In that short exchange you trade preferences for a PDF that maps two to five days of Scottsdale experiences tailored to your tempo.
