by Hilton operates 22 luxurious properties in the United States, including the Dallas Uptown location. Walking distance from local nightlife and the scenic Katy trail, this 4-star hotel lets you explore the neighborhood with a complimentary bicycle.

Meet a team member Ana Marcus What is your position at Bryan Ashley and what is your tenure?

Director of Project Development.

I have been a proud team member for almost 10 years.

How do you prefer to start your day?

Enjoying the ocean breeze, blue skies, and the nature around me while sipping on my morning coffee.

What’s one hobby you’d love to get into?

I would probably love to start painting again. Painting brings me peace and helps me express myself beyond words. I really enjoy bringing different colors and shapes together that ultimately tell a story.

The European style Central Canopy Café is the perfect place to grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat any time

of the day. When it’s time to escape the stress of the day, enjoy a drink and tapas while relaxing by the fireplace at the Upside West Village rooftop lounge.

The furnishings create a balance with a sophisticated residential design and the vintage character of the neighborhood. Separating the bedroom from the rest of the room or suite, the paneled wood barn door allows you to shut out the rest of the world for a peaceful night’s sleep. The floor to ceiling hand-crafted canopy bed with custom mattress will entice even the early bird to hit the snooze button a time or two.

Haylee Ryan Haylee Ryan Art Haylee Ryan is a 34-year-old artist, musician, one half of the Dear Friend, Podcast., and former art teacher from Dallas, TX. As a fine art painter and muralist, Ryan’s work invokes nostalgia and wrestles with the concept of memory and beauty across the figure. Through a balance of negative space, abstraction, and realistic care, her work attempts to visually portray how we remember people, places, and moments. She believes that “beauty is in the memory of the beholder,” and we have the power to make beautiful memories and keep them alive.

Haylee has wanted to be an artist since she was a little

Haylee says the pandemic has been an “interesting” time as an artist, as it has been for everyone. It came with a lot of struggle, but was paired with a fresh perspective and more aligned motivation. During the past year, Haylee has produced some of her proudest work, recently being accepted into New Texas Talent at Craighead Green and also giving her first TedTalk in November of 2020, talking on beauty and memory through visual art. Haylee is also headed to Spain for two short art residencies to continue learning from
