David is proud to be a local business owner, because he gets the chance to solve your problems! He is very smart with technology, loves smart home upgrades including window covering motorization (especially Lutron!). He is also the local drapery expert, having been trained in all-things-drapery. He pays attention to every detail that matters, making every project one that turns into something amazing!
David and Maria own Budget Blinds of Des Moines, and their top priority is providing a 5-star customer experience. We are easy to reach and respond quickly.
When given the chance, David will jump on a wakeboard, go downhill skiing, or scuba dive! Maria plays a few instruments and helps out with the church worship team and loves traveling. They both try to keep up with their four children.

Amber Moffitt
Customer Experience Coordinator
Hi, my name is Amber Moffitt, and I am the Customer Experience Coordinator here at Budget Blinds! When you send in a request to set up a free consultation, I will walk you through the process of getting an appointment scheduled. I'm here to learn about your project and gather details about your window coverings needs so that our Design Consultant is well prepared for your appointment before they step through your front door.
I'm very grateful for the team we have here at Budget Blinds, and it is one of the best parts about my job. We all care about customer service, creating a smooth experience for each customer, and completing each project with excellence. We're excited to meet you and have you join our Budget Blinds family!
As for my time outside of work, I have lots of different passions! I love to spend time with my close family, friends, and church family as community means a lot to me. I also love to be outside and walk, play sports, ski (when I can get to the mountains), camp, horseback ride, etc.! Other hobbies include reading, thrifting, cooking, and weightlifting. So many things to enjoy!

Sydney Burton
Reception and Scheduling Coordinator
Hello! My name is Sydney. In my time at the office, you’ll find me on the phone scheduling and answering questions, along with looking into orders and arrival dates. My favorite thing about being a part of the Budget Blinds family is seeing the before and after photos! Hearing how it makes life easier for the customer and how it pulls a room together, keeping comfort and style in mind!
In my personal time, I enjoy reading, crafting, and singing on my church’s worship team.

Voyen Adamson
Professional Installation Technician
I like working at Budget Blinds because I actually get to see the difference my work makes. As an installer, I’m the one finishing the job and making sure everything fits, functions, and looks top-notch. I enjoy the challenge of figuring things out on site and leaving customers happy with their new blinds or shades. It’s a good feeling driving away, knowing I made someone’s home just a little better. Plus, the team here feels like family; we joke around, help each other out, and take pride in doing things right. It’s a combination of the hands-on work with a visible payoff alongside people I get to interact and learn from every day.
