Our Story

Kat and Brett met on New Year’s Eve 2019 going into 2020 at Nikki Beach in Miami. Kat was studying at the University of Miami, and Brett, a crypto founder based in New York, was visiting family for the holidays. A simple introduction turned into hours of conversation — mostly about startups and venture capital, which Kat was especially passionate about at the time. In a full-circle twist, VC later became the career Brett would go on to build.

After the holidays, Brett returned to New York. Life continued as normal until a few months later, when COVID hit and he flew back to Miami — expecting it to be temporary, but it became the start of something real. Kat and Brett began dating, spending those early months talking, partying, having fun, and dreaming about the future. It felt easy, natural, and exciting.

Over the years, they traveled, built their careers, and welcomed two Bernedoodles into their life — Rambo (after a trip to Aspen) and Happy (after they moved in to their first townhouse together). Life slowly became something they were creating together, piece by piece.

In June 2024, Brett proposed during a trip to the South of France, and on August 8th, 2025, they were married in Lānaʻi, Hawaiʻi — a place that holds an extremely special meaning for them both and felt like the perfect beginning to their next chapter.

A New Year’s Eve spark that turned into forever!
