My favorite window treatment is one that compliments the customer's room and works best with the needs of the customer. My favorite style home is a classic colonial, but I do like a clean line transitional home that allows me to work with different products to complement that look.
“The owners of this franchise are great to work for. It truly is a family. My coworkers are wonderful, and you can count on their support.”

My favorite window coverings are shutters but I also love the way draperies can finish off a room with just a simple fabric. My personal favorite style home is modern farmhouse. -

Meet Your Designer:
My favorite window treatment varies between roller shades, and roman shades paired with drapes. There is nothing I love more than the simplicity of roller shades. However, something about layering romans and drapes makes any room pop! My favorite style home is a modern farmhouse. However, I find each home to be beautiful in its own way.
“I am lucky to be working alongside my parents. Since I was little, Budget Blinds has been such a big part of my life. To watch my parents' business blossom into what it has become today is such a blessing. They are the hardest working, most kindhearted people you will ever meet. I couldn’t be prouder to work for them and with such a great team of individuals.”
