Why Budget Blinds of Edmonton & St. Albert

Rob and Jill Cooper love what they do and it shows! Their sense of fun and professionalism is engrained in their work culture, embraced by their team, and enjoyed by their clients. 

Rob loves our people and feels pride when they “take a challenge in hand and make it right”. He supports each team member to do their best at what they do. Also known around the office as “the detail guy”, Rob keeps us all on our toes and learning each step of the way.  Having sold, installed and trained on all of our products hundreds of times, Rob makes sure that each product solution is the best fit for your space:  practical, functional and looks great! 

Jill’s passion for interior design and background in marketing were the genesis for her and Rob starting their business in the design-focused industry of window coverings. Today Jill’s creative style can be seen in the gorgeous Budget Blinds showroom on Edmonton’s south side.  Always looking ahead for ways to grow their business and to create a better client experience, Jill’s enthusiasm is embraced by the team in a work culture that is both fun and professional with everyone working to better client expectations. 

Malgorzata is our charming, fun-loving style consultant with a European flair. She loves to keep an eye on design trends and help her customers choose window coverings which are “beautiful, functional and within their budget”.  With an enviable fashion flare, Malgorzata shines as a Budget Blinds style consultant bringing a bit of glamour to the homes of her thankful clients.  

A transplant from bustling California, Neth has grown to love “the small town with big city perks” feel of our city after living here for 5 years.  Similarly, Neth enjoys the family-like, collaborative atmosphere of working at Budget Blinds in a position that is challenging and allows her to express her creative side. An avid learner, Neth keeps her brain active and informed with Podcasts and learning new languages. When not listening to (her guilty pleasure) true-crime stories, Neth is focused on learning Korean and Japanese (she is already fluent in an impressive 5 languages!) for an upcoming Korean biking trip. Yup, Neth leads by example and keeps us all reaching for our goals.   

Installer Dan hails from Wisconsin, USA but has found a home here in Edmonton. This expat enjoys exploring our river valley trails and parks and sampling Edmonton’s selection of fantastic restaurants.

Dan prefers working with his hands and takes pleasure in his role as a niche window-covering installer. “I really enjoy seeing people being enthusiastic about their newly installed window coverings. I’m usually the final step of a dream come true for most customers, and it is satisfying to see happiness radiate from them.”

Like any true Canadian, you will find Dan outside whenever possible, hiking and biking when he is not working. “There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing!”

Other things Dan likes to do include cooking and making his own beer, wine, and soda pop. Fitting right into the Edmonton community, in the winter Dan enjoys “curling and watching our Oilers dominate in hockey… and I enjoy watching other sports, too… mainly NFL football and the Green Bay Packers, in particular.”

Sara’s creative heart can be seen throughout our social media pages and in our advertisements. Sara keeps us connected with our community via daily posts and stories about everything from community events and fundraisers to design tips and trends.   What Sara loves most about her job is “the care and dedication I see the team putting into our business as it encourages my own enthusiasm watching us grow from hard work.” And our team says “Ditto, Sara!”
