Why Budget Blinds of East Fort Lauderdale & Boca

Josh is proud to be a Partner of Budget Blinds in Duluth and the greater Gwinnett County area along with his wife Avary. Born in South Africa, he has been living in America for eight years and has been happy to call Georgia his home for the past three. With a long history in Customer Service, Josh prides himself on not only bringing his skills and training across the window treatment industry of design and installations to our clientele, but also doing so in a way that creates a truly memorable experience.

When not working on the business Josh enjoys spending time with Avary, his two cats, friends & family, being involved in community events and enjoying the full array of activities Georgia has to offer – not the least of which is his new found love of the Georgia Bulldogs (which he embarrassingly admits he thought was an NFL team for the first 5 years living in the States).  

Born just down the road in Athens, (and of course a booming voice as an ambassador for the Bulldogs thus Josh’s new found dedication to the team), Avary moved to Florida at the age of 7 only to re-discover her love of Georgia and move back with her husband and business partner in 2019. With a newly found love of home decor, Avary has gone from strength to strength in her design skills and technical abilities to incorporate beauty and function to provide our clientele with the premium window covering service available in Georgia. Though she has a very thorough mastery of a wide range of window covering products, it is no secret that Avary’s true passion and genius are best felt when she is hard at work putting a custom drapery project together to elevate a space and bring a home to life! She is a certified Lutron automation expert and a Drapery School Graduate.

Growing up working in her father’s veterinarian clinic she wants all her clients to know that she enjoys meeting their fur-babies as a special part of her visit to a customer’s home.

With a very wide scope of interest, Avary’s downtime is filled with family, cooking, community events, her cats and, of course, shopping!

My journey with Budget Blinds began in 2020 during a period of much uncertainty but strong demand when most of us were reconnecting with our homes. The aspect of helping create an individual space that was comforting and inviting was very exciting and appealing for me. Fast forward, my growth and experience has helped me become one of the most tenured and knowledgeable sales designer in the South Florida area.
